Sleater-Kinney rock harder than almost any band, period. Female or male. I have 3 of their albums and they're all tops. They're sort of a punk band, but don't expect big riffs or 3-chord songs. There's no bass player, just 2 guitarists and a drummer, and the guitarists sort of share lead duties, playing note patterns that weave in and out of each other. It's much more fun than it sounds.
At first it took me a while to get used to the lead singer's voice. It's very unique, very powerful, not like any other girl's voice I'd ever heard before. I think we're all trained to think that girls can't rock, so when we see a girl playing an instrument as big as she is, or hear a girl sing with some authority, we instantly think "That's wrong! This is wierd!" And that was my first reaction to Sleater-Kinney, but after a few spins, I was totally digging it. This is how grrrl rock is supposed to sound, assertive, urgent, original, fun. Heck, that's what all rock is supposed to strive for.
"Dig Me Out" was where I started and suggest that you do too. "One Beat" is also great. Supposedly "Call The Doctor" is their best but I haven't heard it yet. Check them out. Download a song.

There are a ton of kick-ass girl bands. Anyone who says otherwise is stuck in the boys club that's today's radio.
