10 Most Underrated Female Rock Bands Of All Time

10. Doll Skin

If there's anything to take away from the past few years of rock and roll, it's that the future of the genre is female. From people like St. Vincent leading the charge and even some pop starlets like Rina Sawayama dipping their toes into heavier stuff, it's time that rock is officially taken over by the femme dynamic. Then again, it's never a bad thing to transition back to the more traditional stuff every now and again.

Outside of the usual alt rock formula, the entire sound behind a band like Doll Skin is rooted in the grrrl punk of the '90s, complete with some of the most savage commentary imaginable. Although you'll probably never hear it on the radio any time soon, songs like Puncha Nazi are still some of the greatest bits of punk rock brilliance that have ever come out in the past few years.

There are even some times where they put the savage stuff on hold for some more melodic material, like their beautiful cover of Alanis Morissette's Uninvited or Shut Up (You Miss Me), which is way closer to Foo Fighters than it is Hole. Compared to the dime a dozen rock bands working nowadays, this is what someone like Pink might sound like if she leaned a lot more into her rock credentials.
