Meanstreak

One of the few all-female thrash bands that emerged during the peak of thrash popularity near the end of the eighties, Meanstreak released one competent but not terribly memorable thrash-ish power metal album in 1988. They were unable to follow it up however, the band at least partially done in by an indecision of what musical direction to pursue (a heavier sound soon after the debut, but a more rock direction on a 1993 demo), and they were done by 1994. As an interesting trivia note, no less than three of the core lineup later went on to marry members in Dream Theater (Rena to John Petrucci, Marlene to Mike Portnoy, and Lisa to John Myung). They recently reunited in 2022.

Recent album: Blood Moon, released on February 2, 2024.
