1. They're okay. Talented. Tbh, I never cared for any of the other bands you're comparing them to, either.

No one close to a Chrissie Hynde or Annie Lennox or Stevie Nicks or Tina Turner or Susan Tedeschi in those groups. So I'm not their audience. But Belair Lip Bombs (not a good name, but neither are the names of the other bands you mentioned) are more interesting than the pop tarts and most of the female soloists we hear these days. And I prefer bands and guitar rock to solo artists and overproduced pop songs by a committee of songwriters. So I wish them the best.

Here's video of the band from a couple of months ago. Set list/times in the YT description.
