To be honest, I have taste, so I never bothered to check out Flyleaf (mostly because their name sucks), but apparently they aren’t Metal at all. How do I know? Because I just found out that not only are they fronted by a woman! (why isn’t she in the kitchen!?), but they’re also a Christian band! Jesus Christ! God almighty Science! what is wrong with Metal today?
Frontwoman Lacey Sturm also moans that no radio stations want to play female-fronted Metal/Rock bands. Wow, that’s funny, because I could have sworn I’ve heard Evanescence, Nightwish, Within Temptation and all those other female-fronted bands that sound exactly the same, on the radio. In fact, I was so sure that female-fronted gothic rock bands were all the rage! Damn, I guess I was wrong, because obviously it’s really tough for Lacey and Flyleaf… Selling all those albums, playing festivals across the world… being interviewed… I must have dreamt those things happened. Of course, if Flyleaf really do struggle to get played on the radio, I’m sure it is because they’re fronted by a woman, and has nothing to do with their bland and boring music…
