This post inspired by my very recent discovery of the band Broken Focus, a hardcore/metal band that has a transfem lead vocalist. Who might just be my new gender goals.

Underscores (I like their album U), then femtanyl

Kinda obsessed with their newest All The Time rn, but I like a bunch of her earlier stuff too

same, U is good too but the highlights on wallsocket are phenomenal.

[–] IntroSkeptic@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Came here looking for this, I LOVE underscores. Lena Raine is super cool too! Though different... At the same time I feel isolated in liking the Celeste OST much more than the Minecraft one.

Idk how I've never heard of this one before but it's giving early-2000's blink 182/the killers, 9/10 very solid!

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 3 points 2 weeks ago

Transgender dysphoria blues is my favorite song.

Laura Jane Grace is a beautiful person. I love her music, both before and after she transitioned.

Favorite songs:

  • Delicate, Petite & Other Things I'll Never Be
  • We Laugh at Danger (and Break All the Rules)
  • 333
  • Fuckmylife666

Laura Jane Grace is a legend for her history in the punk community.

Edit - fav songs:
You look like I need a drink
I’m an anarchist
How Low

My daughter's classmate once gave her a list of musicians she liked and it was pretty much just a list of transfem Canadians. Neither of them are trans and I'm not out, so it was entirely coincidental.

[–] FluidBeef@quokk.au 8 points 2 weeks ago

Probably still Wendy Carlos. The Clockwork Orange soundtrack is tight, and was pioneering.

Recently got into Lex Walton. She’s pretty obscure, you’ve probably never heard of her lol!

[–] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Sophie is incredible. She made one of my favorite albums of all time, Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides. Highly recommend for fans of experimental pop and club music.

[–] calliope@retrolemmy.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

Sophie was amazing, and that album is incredible! I love her sound.

She also produced a song by Let’s Eat Grandma called Hot Pink that’s pretty great.

I'm a fan of Owlbear. They're a power metal band with a transfem vocalist, and she also has a black metal solo act. I've been to a couple of shows with Owlbear in the lineup and they're even better live.

Cab Ride Home, another metal band with a trans vocalist, had a pretty good album and a couple of EPs, but went on hiatus since she's now a senator in Virginia.

[–] Clarion_Fae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 weeks ago

went on hiatus since she's now a senator in Virginia

Hell of a story arc there, wow!

[–] Clarion_Fae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

Listening to owlbear right now, it's pretty solid. Giving me some Blind Guardian/Killswitch Engage Holy Diver type vibes. Very nice, 8.5/10

[–] buran@lemmy.today 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Lena Raine is the first person in my mind, some people were very hard on her being C418's successor. But I believe she's actually great, haven't listen to her other works tho.

I've only played the game jam version I believe, not the fully finished game.

The game jam version is pretty good in its own right, but the full version is honestly incredible.

[–] nebby@piefed.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Laura Jane Grace is my favorite artist I love Against Me! And her solo works. Saw her concerts a few times shes really good

Definitely the artist I've most consistently loved. Been listening to her for like 12-13 years now. At first, at least one song confused me because it seemed like she was gendering herself as female, but she was stilling going by her deadname back then. In hindsight, it was obvious she had already tried to come out through songs before TDB released, but I hadn't paid much attention to the lyrics in the most explicit songs.

I saw Sarah and the Safe Word at a Bear Ghost concert and they were pretty fun, the lead singer is transfem and pretty sure all the other members identify as queer

[–] Clarion_Fae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

Ok this is giving "aurelio voltaire but like if he was a girl"

Solid pick, 8.5/10. If I was drunk or stoned, 9/10.

[–] Archr@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

All the other members except drums. (they made a joke about this when I saw them)

For transmasc: Dylan and the moon! He has a few songs that he rerecorded after his transition and mixed together to create a duet with himself! https://youtu.be/ojSmc7s1rgU

Cheap Dirty Horse

A UK punk band

Highlights include "On the rob" and "I transed your dad"

[–] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Glad to see Cheap Dirty Horse mentioned in the wild. On the Rob is a great song!

Not my personal favorite but my wife really likes Rainbow Kitten Surprise. The lead singer came out as trans a few years back.

[–] Clarion_Fae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

from Boone, North Carolina

Automatic 10/10, lol

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Against Me! remains GOATed

Honorable mention to Wendy Carlos the mother of electronic music. Seriously, she basically completely revolutionized music by helping develop the moog synthesizer then winning a grammy by releasing an album of Bach on it (in 1968), transitioned in 1968, publicly came out in 1979, and is still around today in her 80s. She also did the soundtrack to A Clockwork Orange, the Shining, and Tron.

Kim Petras is also worth bringing up here, especially since this thread is really punk. I'm not much of a pop girlie, but her music is pretty dang good, and she's also won a Grammy, made all the more impressive by doing it while openly trans.

[–] Sausagecat@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Boy Clothes is a great emo-ish band from Nashville. The bass player is fantastic and I wish I could remember the stage name she uses for her solo stuff. I'll add it if my brain decides to work.

Obligatory StomachBook, Femtanyl, and Changeline.

Not trans, but I'm a big fan of KFlay. For specifically trans I probably have to go with Steam Powered Giraffe, although she unfortunately left the band recently (amicably). Both are fantastic live

[–] Clarion_Fae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah I like that new K Flay song ants and of course Blood in the Cut is a classic

[–] luciole@beehaw.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I love The Bedroom Witch. If Synthpop Darkwave is your thing I recommend you check it out.

[–] azalea_flower@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

I don't listen to that many transfem artists, though my favourite artist, Jamie Paige, is one of the few. I can also recommend shteppi.

Also a notable mention for a small non-trans artist: hiSwaps!

[–] alt_xa_23@midwest.social 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Nameless mist (atmospheric black metal)

Victory over the sun (avant-garde/prog black metal)

Kyros (prog-rock/synthpop)

Fogweaver (dungeon synth)

Bull of Apis Bull of Bronze (black metal)

Ezra Furman is my all-time fave! Her music is so beautiful and full of vivid, idiosyncratic imagery. If you havent heard of her elsewhere she did the soundtrack for Sex Education.

[–] Sasha@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

There's a bunch of trans punk bands here, Crop Tops and Heterophobes are probably my top two

[–] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

She/Her/Hers, Destructo Disk, and Mischief Brew.
