9. Little Waist
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mosQPKNRMA Little Waist is a queercore/transcore band from Brooklyn, New York fronted by multi-instrumentalist Audrey Zee Whitesides that kicks out emotional, catchy punk songs in the vein of bands such as Dinosaur Jr. Her songs, often relating to conflicts of identity and expectations placed upon those occupying specific gender roles, manage to be simultaneously devastating and humorous. "(I Wanna Be a) Dyke Wife," from their EP Some Kinda Comfort centers its themes of identity and queer domesticity around a head-bobbing new wave riff that will immediately get stuck in your head.
