PJ, as in Polly Jean? The Metric songs I've heard seem more like Blondie to me. Or maybe Elastica, with some of that Kinky Wire type sound. PJ is more of a bluesy rocker. But if you don't know her yet I'd highly recommend Carina Round and her last album, The Disconnection. Big favorite of mine and she does have a lot of PJ's strengths ...

Blonde Redhead is probably a little closer to that Metric sound, but they are pretty unique and trade vocals between the man and woman. Their last album was on 4AD so shares some of that label's past sound, but the couple albums before probably stand as a better definition of their sound. But I like em all ...

Those Veruca Salt girls were fun, and Eleni Mandell, and the Breeders and that other band of Kim's called the Pixies, always liked Barbara Manning and she did a cool album in the mid 90s called Truth Walks In Sleepy Shadows that went kind of unnoticed under her S.F. Seals band name with 3 other girls, although it did seem to garner some nice acclaim at the time. And I always loved Patti Smith and Siouxie and some of those early girl rockers. One of the best of the 90s for me was Geek the Girl by Lisa Germano. Brilliant album. But that was 10 years ago or so. I don't have much right now. Except of course that Electrelane album from a couple years ago that I always mention, The Power Out, but I've probably already street teamed enough for those ladies
BTW, there was a big article in my newspaper a couple weeks ago about Chuck Close and it led off with big pictures of both his well known self portraits, including your avatar. Made me smile cause I almost caught myself saying, "Hey, I know that guy!"
