There really seems to be a trend going on in the hard rock and metal scene of having females as lead vocalists. This makes perfect sense considering the industry is completely saturated with males so put a pretty face on stage for all the fans to enjoy and if she can sing a little that's just a bonus. But luckily there are also a select few that just fucking bring it. It doesn't matter if they are a male or female because they are going to bring it night in and night out and after all is said and done, no one will be left questioning their talent.
Straight Line Stitch is one of the lucky few that has a female vocalist that breaks hearts with her smile and impresses with her voice. She definitely has the pretty face, but has a vocal range that hangs with the best of the best on the scene today.
All I have to say is, she has pushed the bar higher for vocalists, male or female.

Aaron Manogue: Tell us a little about where you’re from, where you grew up? What type of family did you grow up in?
Alexis Brown: Basically, my family comes from a military background so I was always here and there. My family was definitely from a musical background. My dad played saxophone, my mom sang in church and I always knew I wanted to sing. I didn’t know it would lead to metal but as I got older, I had an older brother and he just got into Pantera, Korn and all those heavy bands and stuff like that. I just sort of got influenced by him and when my mom later remarried my step-father listened to Metallica, and Bad Company and Styx and I kind of just fell in love with the genre. And I said, “Well you either do R&B music or I can step out of the box and do something different.” So I decided to pursue a career in metal and get a band together.
