Suggest some female lead bands...?

I realized lately all I'm listening to is men, not that it matters just want to switch it up abit. I'm way out of the loop, hardly have people around me to recommend anything.

I was always a huge distillers fan, recently ordered her new bands cd...haven't got it yet. Spinnerette.

All I have right now are older stuff...Garbage, Hole, Fiona Apple, Sarah Mclachlan,...and the like. I want to get into some newer stuff. I've heard of some bands like civet..more you may know?

I tend to listen to grunge, hardcore, punk, alternative rock genre's. I do branch out to pop, jazz, r&b..lady gaga, kate nash, katy perry, pink,..the like. so need to say those.

any suggestions?

Update:

oops i guess i left out i dont like metal.

i have paramore..but ill check out the others thanks!
