Remember when I said I was a sucker for a group with an awesome female lead? Well here is another example. Purity Ring is a band that I have recently become semi-obsessed with. Their single “Belispeak” is so catchy and addicting I can barely even stand it. So of course when I become obsessed with something I have to google it to death to read up and scour whatever pictures I can find. My luck on this stalking assignment was not so easy. Try googling “Purity Ring Band” and all your going to get is a bunch of crap about ACTUAL purity rings. Not interested google, sorry. Through the crap I did manage to find some pictures and articles about the actual band, and after doing what lurking I could, I decided that singer Megan James and bandmate Corin Roddick are adorable. Megan rocks these girly dresses on stage in such an ‘I don’t give a shit’ way that it makes me jealous. Pretty much she rocks. And Corin...not too bad to look at and he has great style. Score. Add in the fact that the bands sound is a swoony mix of synth, samples,and beats with r&b and hip hop influences and you have a slam dunk. I encourage everyone to take a listen and if you are feeling really ambitious, try the google search. At the very least you will learn what purity bands are hot this season.

Rock Girl Power
Let me start off by saying that I can’t sing worth a damn, let alone play an instrument, but I am an absolute sucker for a great solo female artist or band with an amazing female lead. Maybe its the relate-ability you can get from their lyrics... Or the envy you feel when you watch them take the stage with complete confidence and control a crowd. Whatever it is I love it! Over the years there has been tons of bands with amazing women taking the lead and there are a few of the ladies that I cant get enough of. Not only are they fantastic at what they do, they also have a great sense of style. The way I see it, the more rock girl power the better. Thank you ladies for being so bad ass...I will continue to be envious and live vicariously through your awesomeness.
