The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

2000s - 2010s, lead singer was a 20 to 30 y/o woman, from the pacific northwest (Seattle maybe?). She made a couple of records with a band and then made a couple as a solo artist under her own name. Fiery as f***, rockin' and melodic. Sort of a retro look and style.

Press F for my feeble brain. Thanks for any ideas. I couldn't find any web sites to help with this sort of thing, but I'd love to know if any are out there.

EDIT: I found her / them: Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside

More obscure, for sure. Indie rock, not hard. Almost sorta rockabilly-ish?

No song names, lyrics, nothing else are coming to mind.

You'll probably have to be more specific. Maybe sift some PNW indie label Wikipedia pages for rosters. Because if you can't think of anyone she toured with or any other fact no one will be able to name some indie artist with just a decade and a gender.
