Here is “The Runaways” plot description:
“The Runaways” follows two friends – Joan Jett (Kristen Stewart) and Cherie Currie (Dakota Fanning) – as they rise from rebellious southern California kids to rock stars of the now-legendary group that paved the way for future generations of girl bands. They fall under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon) who turns the group into an outrageous success and a family of misfits.
With its tough-chick image and raw talent, the band quickly earns a name for itself and so do its two leads. Joan is the band’s pure rock ’n roll heart while Cherie (with her Bowie-Bardot looks) is the sex kitten.

Girl bands
Girl bands often have a different view on life & love (as the subjects of many of their songs)…
What do you dig most about girl bands
What do you dig most about girl bands they hold my atten span longer

The gals are soooo Hot!!!
The Runaways
Simply that they were doing what they absolutely loved and as a result, paved the way for so many women to come.
grrl bands
They are kick butt
Was In One
Being that I was actually *in* a “girl band,” I can say that the best thing about a girl band is that there is a camaraderie that is unlike any other musical collaboration. There’s none of the bravada & macchissimo that guy bands have. Women in bands genuinely want to see each other succeed, and they have such a huge drive to do so (considering that their main obstacle is, unfortunately, their gender & the public’s incorrect assumption that they are somehow not as talented as their male counterparts). When a woman rocks a wicked bass line or bangs on the drums or slashes through a guitar solo, it’s exhilerating. & when a woman opens her mouth to sing, in a growling rock belt … hold onto your seats, man.

HOT!
Their attitude makes them so HOT! They are more outspoken, they put a lot of energy into their music. Think of all the successful girl bands from past and present.
-B-52’s
-Indigo Girls
-Spice Girls
-Hole (Courtney Love)
-Wild Orchid (Fergie)
Keep them coming women…I love the girl bands!
