Live music review: Female fronted bands put “Power” in Empowerment Fest

After Adrian Conner wrapped up, we hopped over to the second stage where BÖNDBREAKR unleashed a powerful set of hardcore metal-punk fusion led by dynamic front woman Gerilyn Hayes a/k/a Hurricane G.

Despite the warm afternoon, the band maintained high energy and their sound was relentless: hard driving rhythms overlaid by Hayes’ monster vocals kept us transfixed.
