You Must Not Know 'Bout Menew
I like women-empowerment music because I'm a big fan of underdog art in general (one of the main reasons I like punk so much), and because I like music that encourages you to put your arms around your comrades and sing out with reckless abandon. Also, chicks dig it.

Fake It 'til You Make Itnew
