2. Marissa Paternoster
Marissa Paternoster is an unexpected guitaring triumph. Her band, The Screaming Females, introduces itself as straight up punk, but they're definitely so much more than that. Accenting the chord work, Paternoster will tear a rock 'n' roll lick out of nowhere ensuring the listener knows just what she's capable of. Whilst The Screaming Females don't have the biggest following as of yet, they're getting renown in the local circles that matter. The New York City alternative weekly Village Voice to name Paternoster the region's "Best Guitar Shredder", and with accolades like that surely it's only a matter of time before she gets the recognition she deserves. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nN7QNnyeoMI
