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
Girls, girl bands, what’s not to like…….
I love girl bands because
I love girl bands because they usually have better singers, better voices, and they help move women forward by showing they can be just as good (or better) than guys!
FINALLY!
What I dig most about chick (rock) bands is how badass they are. They’re better than the guys, because they HAVE to be. The Runaways and Girlschool were the absolute best of their breed. The Runaways were better and rocked harder than every other band in LA at the time, and Girlschool was at the top of the NWOBHM bunch right alongside Motorhead and Def Leppard.
My favorite Runaways songs are “Blackmail,” “I’m A Million,” and “Hollywood.”
I’ve been waiting for this movie for almost 20 years. :)
I was already a Joan Jett fan in the 80s, but I first heard the Runaways in 1990 and they slayed me. It’s a shame they aren’t in the RRHOF yet.
Girl Bands
GIRL POWER! =]
