Transporting the listener back to the hottest era in hard rock history, Austrian powerhouse VULVARINE delivers a fierce statement with the band’s latest album, Fast Lane, on Napalm Records
Influenced by bands such as Girlschool, The Runaways, and The Donnas, VULVARINE defines its own sound as “vulvarock”—a unique fusion of high energy rock ’n’ roll, heavy metal, and glam, topped up with punk and blues elements. Following their debut album, Unleashed (2020), and 2023’s Witches Brew EP, on Fast Lane, VULVARINE heads full speed into a new adventure filled with adrenaline and authenticity.
Janis Joplin: “Flower in the Sun”
Joplin’s raw, electrifying voice brings a psychedelic energy that feels both free spirited and rebellious. She broke barriers in a male dominated era, proving that passion and authenticity matter more than image.
Joan Jett: “Hate Myself for Loving You”
A perfect blend of gritty guitar riffs and attitude-driven vocals make this song a timeless rock anthem. Jett’s fierce independence and refusal to conform make her a role model for any woman who wants to own her power.
Girlschool: “Emergency”
Fast, punchy, and unapologetically loud, this song is classic NWOBHM energy at its best. Girlschool proved that women could rock just as hard—if not harder—than their male counterparts in the heavy metal scene.
Heart: “If Looks Could Kill”
A powerhouse mix of Ann Wilson’s soaring vocals and infectious, driving rhythms. Heart redefined what women in rock could achieve, balancing powerful femininity with unrelenting rock prowess.
Vixen: “I Want You to Rock Me”
A high energy anthem filled with catchy hooks and a fierce vocal delivery. As one of the most successful all female rock bands, Vixen proved that women could dominate the glam metal scene on their own terms.
Tiger Bell: “Don’t Wanna Hear About Your Band”
This song perfectly captures that classic move where some male musicians feel the need to lecture female musicians on what they should or shouldn’t be doing, all while proudly bragging about their band that maybe plays three half-decent shows a year at some dive bar. We love the riot grrrl energy. It’s both hilarious and completely relatable, even now. So, yeah, don’t bother telling us about your band.
Warlock: “All We Are”
Doro Pesch is the queen of metal. This song is pure energy and unity. Makes you wanna stand tall and fight for what you believe in.
