Women in Rock

In order to see how we could conform to or challenge the conventions of representations women in rock, we looked at different women in rock and how they are portrayed within the band.

Taylor Momsen

Taylor Momsen is the lead singer and front women for The Pretty Reckless. The band, who formed in 2007 have an aggressive musical style. While she has separate acting and modelling careers, within the band, Taylor is sexualised

Tay Jardine

Tay Jardine is one of the singers for the pop punk band We Are the In Crowd, which formed in 2009. Tay is not as sexualised as Taylor Momsen, instead she is shown as having fun.

Jenna McDougall

Jenna McDougall is the lead singer for the Australian pop punk band Tonight Alive who formed in 2008. She usually wears casual clothes, which often show her forourite bands or feature interesting designs.

Amy Lee

Amu Lee is the lead singer of Evanescence. She is presented in a more gothic manner than the previously mentioned women. 

As can be seen the different women in rock can be shown as quite sexualised to more casual. We hope for our female band members to be represented by a more casual, friendly look.
