I really like Wallsocket.
same, U is good too but the highlights on wallsocket are phenomenal.
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.
Against Me!
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!
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:
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.
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!
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.
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.
went on hiatus since she's now a senator in Virginia
Hell of a story arc there, wow!
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
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.
You should try Celeste :3
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.
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
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.
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"
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.
from Boone, North Carolina
Automatic 10/10, lol
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.
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.
I listen to Astrid, FEM&M, and shteppi a lot
Idk if she is my favorite but damn i love jasmin.4.t, she just has this very chill and nice vibe to it and a beautiful beautiful voice! Plus she definetly deserves more love aswell!
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
Yeah I like that new K Flay song ants and of course Blood in the Cut is a classic
I love The Bedroom Witch. If Synthpop Darkwave is your thing I recommend you check it out.
I’ll just leave this here cause it’s hilarious and very good.
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!
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.
There's a bunch of trans punk bands here, Crop Tops and Heterophobes are probably my top two
