Hey! Thanks so much for stopping by. Floor and I caught up earlier in the year just before her illness, so, her management and I agreed to hold off posting until she was better. My podcast is exclusively on Spotify, but I have posted a handful of interviews with other rockers on here too, so feel free to have a watch. Take care everyone.

I’m not justifying the “female fronted band” label but I believe it is more an American thing, differentiating from the “norm” of fully male bands. Time and again, you see their jaws drop when they react to Ghost Love Score when Floor walks out - their first experience with European metal. European reactors are already used to seeing the huge amount of amazing bands with female lead singers!

It really is. I'm American, a metalhead, a woman, and I sing. And lemme tell ya, the elitists have been on my case since I was 15 and started getting into Nightwish and other european bands. RECENTLY, (I had hoped this was dying), someone I know went off on a whole rant about how having a female singer in a metal band is just a cheesy gimmick designed to lure in people to perv on the singer. I was livid.

Ollie, First of all, Congratulations on your interview with the lovely Floor Jansen (Yansen -sp?) I love your confidence BUT I'd like to say one recommendation, sorry because I'm old I have to "put my own 5 cents in" & advise: .........because an Artist is a human first & foremost with feelings & has a busy life outside of Showbiz full of adventure & issue's too I'd tread as lightly as possible around some particular questions, don't be scared just be informed and aware of where the Interviewee is at. Eg: Other than their musical career, (vocation), I think it imperative that the "Interviewer" makes sure to acknowledge the WHOLE person. The question about why are female fronted bands labelled such, I totally agree with you 100%, why in this day & age do people Label certain bands as "Female Fronted" -it sounds stupid! I am totally blowin' away @ the amount of times people refer to Nightwish & other awesome Metal/Rock/Symphonic bands as Female Fronted, isn't it frickin' obvious or better yet why even say such a stupid thing????? 🤫🤭😄 Females have been fronting bands & doing bloody well @ it since Adam & Eve!! -(Ok, maybe not since Adam & Eve but because WE ARE ALL sons & daughter's of "Kane" -("Abel" was the murdered bro), we have lead too, always.) Cheers to you Ollie & a special "SHOUT OUT" to FLOOR, YEAH!!!!! Btw, Floor -Your on TikTok!! *Floor, "Tic-Tac" & "Tik-Tok" do sound alike, hahaha! 🤩🤣🧑🏫

Doro Pesch can remember festivals in the 80s where she was the only woman - in front of, on and behind the stage. Bands like Warlock were the exception. So the female fronted band category made sense. Overall, women are still in the minority. But today you can find them everywhere. At the end of the nineties they created a subgenre with symphonic metal in which they dominate. This development was much slower in the USA than in Europe. I can think of remarkably few US female singers. But Metal has in general a bad reputation there.

I was surprised at the answer, as I see why I use it and it is not to be lazy nor to discern a band from not being like the majority, but I was unaware that apparently it leaves some people with a feeling of unease. To me it was always about the type of vocal sound that the band stands for: female fronted usually equals great vocals in a really high range that requires a fair amount of (classical) vocal training. Just like the term "boy-band" or "girl-band" to me has much less to do with the gender of the singers and than with their soundquality: to me those terms suggest powerful singing in harmony and usually pretty excessable songs (that are quite easily sung along). If such a band was refered to as all male or male fronted or just "band" it does not give me that specific bit of information on what to expect. In the same way I used to consider female-fronted metal - not considered disrespectful in any way. But apparently the use of such terms are not the same everywhere...

Only it is not the English but mainly the Americans who insist on mispronouncing her name and other similar European words. After all there are more than a dozen languages in Europe which pronounce the letter "j" in this way. The English are next to Europe and much more accustomed to the idea of "j" pronounced "y". Many English learnt German in school, for example. So a mainly American phenomenon.

While I don't think anyone should use the phrase "female fronted band" officially. However, I can answer possibly why I think folks do. Many of us are fascinated by women. They would check out any band with all female musicians or female lead vocalist. They might think female voices (not including harsh vocals) sound prettier and they like that contrast in metal (like me), and saying female fronted is just saying that the vocalist is female voice and nothing more; cannot speak for how others mean female fronted, its a pure positive to me. There is a diff between female vocals and male vocals for the most part. Of course Floor is my favorite vocalist (any gender) of all time. Because of Floor I've gotten to know Alissa White-Gluz of Arch Enemy, Melissa Bonny | Ad INFINITUM, Tatiana Shmayluk of Jinjer, 𝕸𝖆𝖉𝖊𝖑𝖊𝖎𝖓𝖊 𝕷𝖎𝖑𝖏𝖊𝖘𝖙𝖆𝖒 | 𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐈𝐍𝐄, Simone Simmons of Epica. Though I met someone at Sea World San Diego this week that commented on my Nightwish shirt w/Floor & Marco, and used the Phrase "Nightwish w/ Floor Jansen" to differentiate the era that I prefer. One of them did use term female fronted, yet that was the category they were interested in so I gave them a list of videos on KZitem to watch w/ Floor, Alissa, and Tatiana.
