Rolling Stone may think Britney rocks, but real rock fans don't. There are real women making real rock and this series is all about them.  The good, the bad and the ugly. It doesn't matter, as long as they are woman and they rock you can find them here!

Slunt
By Joey Grace

I wouldn’t call them hard or even metal, unless you would call The Donnas metal.  No, Slunt is more pop-metal for a metal head’s girlfriend.  The songs are full of catchy hard rock hooks and lyrics about a woman’s assertive independence.  Frontwoman Abby Gennet has a nice refined voice that she tries to harden up to fit with the thick guitars.  She definitely seems like a choir geek that has been corrupted by the high school rock drop out, with his jean jacket and Metallica patch.  I would hate to genderize this band but it is basally chick rock for chick rock fans.  

In the songs “The best thing” and “Not about you” Abby sings about guys missing out on the best thing, which is her and how she is better off without the tards.  But she quickly digresses in “I wanna be your only one.”  This punk-pop-super-ballad is catchy and could serve as their single. It’s steady beat keeps it going and the fuzzed out guitars and harmonized vocals will make all the girls pull out there pony tails and whip there died black hair all around their room while dancing in front of the mirror.  None of the guitars are too fancy, with rudimentary solos, and standard metal riffs.  They even go as far as to cover, Romeo Void’s “Never say never,” which cements my decision that Slunt is ultimately chick metal.
