The mix of sounds here is a bit hard to pin down. I almost landed this under metal. It definitely shares a lot of ground with nu-metal. Beyond that, there are passages (and one full song) that do fit quite well under that heading. Ultimately, I decided there were too many other things at play here to put it there. Whatever you call this, though, the mix of punk rock, alternative, ska, pop and metal is extremely effective.

I would guess that a lot of coverage of this act probably starts with something like "this all female band." Sure, I suppose that's something worthy of mention. The thing is, I fell in love with this music before I even looked at a picture of the act. It's obvious the lead singer is a woman (and she sometimes sound a bit like Gwen Stefani's more rocking side). This is not a novelty band, though, and the music holds up without that being a selling point.
