Bully has a great singer.

Laura Jane Grace from Against Me!, Shawna Potter from War on Women, and Holly Ross from Angelica come to mind.

Big fan of Discount.

It has Alison Mosshart of The Kills and The Dead Weather.

EDM type hardcore punk with an awesome female singer. These guys are incredibly intense live.

I ran across an Italian Punk band called Uniplux a while ago. The singer was really good. The more recent things they released are weak though.

I take it the original point has been refuted to death and I'm just beating a dead horse here but...

I saw a band a few months ago called In Evil Hour. They're very good (and very nice too). Apparently, I need to make more posts before I can post urls but if anyone likes hardcore punk with a good melody they have stuff on youtube.

so much spirit in Laura Jane Grace; thanks!!

She is awesome but I really do prefer early Against Me! to their more recent stuff. As a band I just don't think they suit production values very well. Some of the raw emotion got lost when the recordings were cleaned up a bit. At least for me anyway.

oh come on what about the classic Joan Jett .... she was killer!

I'm sure this has been mentioned before but Downtown Boys are great.
