This post inspired by my very recent discovery of the band Broken Focus, a hardcore/metal band that has a transfem lead vocalist. Who might just be my new gender goals.

I have two trans* artists that I really like.

Tiggrez Punch is a German feminist artist that mainly produces HipHop. I saw them live and I can only recommend them.

Awakesy! is a British transfem Artist that produces quite a wide Variety of genres, but mainly the darker styles of Techno and its subgenres. She has quite a lot of speedcore, but also lots of other cool stuff.

    Eris drew and octa octa they just released a wonderful acid, breakbeat album as alchemical sisters. It is a testament, a statement. Transfemmes on top of their game shaking up electronic dance music. Its just so ridicoulesely fun

    Against Me! remains GOATed

    Honorable mention to Wendy Carlos the mother of electronic music. Seriously, she basically completely revolutionized music by helping develop the moog synthesizer then winning a grammy by releasing an album of Bach on it (in 1968), transitioned in 1968, publicly came out in 1979, and is still around today in her 80s. She also did the soundtrack to A Clockwork Orange, the Shining, and Tron.

    Kim Petras is also worth bringing up here, especially since this thread is really punk. I'm not much of a pop girlie, but her music is pretty dang good, and she's also won a Grammy, made all the more impressive by doing it while openly trans.

    I believe Cheap Perfume has a trans member. They're also awesome

  • Um… Axis of Awesome?

    (I don't even listen to them that much but I feel exposed for not having any bands with trans singers in my collection)

    Lena Raine is the first person in my mind, some people were very hard on her being C418's successor. But I believe she's actually great, haven't listen to her other works tho.

    Probably still Wendy Carlos. The Clockwork Orange soundtrack is tight, and was pioneering.

    Recently got into Lex Walton. She’s pretty obscure, you’ve probably never heard of her lol!

    I had no idea! I’m only familiar with Teenage Anarchist and Thrash Unreal, which apparently came out before she came out. That’s awesome.

    Yeah, her coming out was pretty big. Including her ex wife having to tell Rolling Stone that Laura's gender had nothing to do with the divorce. She later titled her (pretty good) autobiography a transphobic slur.

    Transgender Dysphoria Blues was an amazing album as well, that really hits hard especially early in transition. And it's wild in retrospect that she put out The Ocean (song) before coming out. But in retrospect she's got a handful of songs from that era that are clearly dealing with her relationship with her gender.

    Idk how I've never heard of this one before but it's giving early-2000's blink 182/the killers, 9/10 very solid!

    There's a bunch of trans punk bands here, Crop Tops and Heterophobes are probably my top two

    Sophie is incredible. She made one of my favorite albums of all time, Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides. Highly recommend for fans of experimental pop and club music.

  • My daughter's classmate once gave her a list of musicians she liked and it was pretty much just a list of transfem Canadians. Neither of them are trans and I'm not out, so it was entirely coincidental.

    She's so fucking good in concert. My ex took me years ago and it was great. I should look to see if she'll be somewhere near me at some point, I'd love to take my wife to one of her shows

    Wait, apparently she's been releasing new music under her name‽ I'd just been looking for AM!. And it's folk punk! Ooh, I'm gonna have some fun with that

  • Definitely the artist I've most consistently loved. Been listening to her for like 12-13 years now. At first, at least one song confused me because it seemed like she was gendering herself as female, but she was stilling going by her deadname back then. In hindsight, it was obvious she had already tried to come out through songs before TDB released, but I hadn't paid much attention to the lyrics in the most explicit songs.

    I don't listen to that many transfem artists, though my favourite artist, Jamie Paige, is one of the few. I can also recommend shteppi.

    Also a notable mention for a small non-trans artist: hiSwaps!

    For transmasc: Dylan and the moon! He has a few songs that he rerecorded after his transition and mixed together to create a duet with himself! https://youtu.be/ojSmc7s1rgU

    Transgession

    They're black metal.

    I'm a fan of Owlbear. They're a power metal band with a transfem vocalist, and she also has a black metal solo act. I've been to a couple of shows with Owlbear in the lineup and they're even better live.

    Cab Ride Home, another metal band with a trans vocalist, had a pretty good album and a couple of EPs, but went on hiatus since she's now a senator in Virginia.

    I saw Sarah and the Safe Word at a Bear Ghost concert and they were pretty fun, the lead singer is transfem and pretty sure all the other members identify as queer

    Of course I listen to femtanyl as well and other artists I might not even know are trans, lol.

    Boy Clothes is a great emo-ish band from Nashville. The bass player is fantastic and I wish I could remember the stage name she uses for her solo stuff. I'll add it if my brain decides to work.

    Obligatory StomachBook, Femtanyl, and Changeline.
