Female Rock Music with Attitude

Every track in this collection has vocals; none of it is instrumental. The whole point of the selection is the woman at the front of the band, so you get sung hooks on titles like Let You Down by Vic & Gab, Cannonball (Radio Edit) by Ascending Dawn and In The Sun by Violent Mae. If you need a bed that leaves room for a voiceover, look at the instrumental-heavy collections instead and keep this one for moments where the lyric is the message.

The sound is guitar-driven alternative rock and indie rock with a few pop rock, alt-country and surf rock detours, not arena metal or acoustic balladry. Percussion and electric guitars lead almost every track, with electronic and keyboard layers on a minority, and the editorial sound references are Metric, The Kills, Hole, Paramore and Sonic Youth. Moods skew exciting, with swagger and a little anger, which is why it reads as defiant rather than merely upbeat.

Tracks average about three and a half minutes, so these are full songs rather than pre-cut stings. For a 30-second ad the usual approach is to lift a chorus or a verse-to-chorus run and end on a natural hit; the exciting, beat-heavy tagging on most tracks means there are plenty of strong downbeats to cut on. Radio-edit style titles such as Cannonball (Radio Edit) give you a tighter starting point.

This collection is rock first: electric guitars and drums on nearly every track, with alternative and indie rock making up most of the sub-genres and an exciting, swaggering energy. The Dark, Powerful Female Vocals collection is also all-vocal, but it is built from singer-songwriter, trip hop and alternative pop tracks led by electronics and keyboards, with dramatic and dark moods. Pick this one for a fashion or sports spot that needs bite and tempo, and the other for a slow-burn trailer or luxury campaign.

Agencies can license any track in this collection for client work, including ads, monetized YouTube video, social campaigns and film, under the license tier that matches the business. Audiosocket offers Individual, Indie Film, Small Business and Large Business tiers on monthly or annual subscriptions, a subscription covers unlimited licensing during its term, and each license issued is perpetual for the finished piece it was issued for, so the spot stays cleared after the subscription ends.
