  BBC - Coventry and Warwickshire - Entertainment - Suffrajets blown away by Casino
Life’s been a bit up and down for The Suffrajets, one minute their single‘s getting major airplay, they’re on tour with absolutely everyone, they’ve gained a fantastic live reputation and even had their own television series.
Front woman Alex Gillings is now flanked by Claire Wakeman and Vicky Kingston (the tallest women in rock!) whilst Gemma Clarke as ever remains a blur of hair, arms and drumsticks as she lovingly lays down her beats at the rear.
The Suffrajets are not a bad band, they never have been and to be fair they’re aiming at something different to the likes of Casino.

 The Fleece: THE SUFFRAJETS
Somewhere along the line, the power of great music has diminished, but now The Suffrajets – a quartet of feisty young ladies – have arrived to transform music with their beautifully crafted rock songs.
Founding member Gemma is keen to dismiss the preconceptions that the name may conjure up in a male dominated world ‘You hear the name and you think of the whole women’s movement, but that’s why we changed the spelling.
And it’s that philosophy, along with the fact that The Suffrajets, undoubtedly believe in their own future, which clearly gives this quartet the revolutionary outlook to succeed, while summing up The Suffrajets’ philosophy.

It is billed not as a boring old "opera" but an "operatic thriller", and it's a tale of drugs, sex, terrorism and skin decoration, subjects that emerged from focus groups as the most likely to turn on the target audience.
I meet the Suffrajets at their studios near Old Street in London, where they've just returned from a tour and are recording their debut album.
It's a bit different from the gigs I usually go to." The Suffrajets' lead singer is Claire Wakeman, who trained at the august Trinity College of Music before giving up classical guitar to become an axe-wielding frontwoman.

 club WITH NO NAME reviews: The Suffrajets   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Unlike many of their male equivalents, all girl four piece The Suffrajets who played Club With No Name at The Park last week show that they’ve definitely got more balls when they take to the stage.
The Suffrajets’ upward climb has however been marred by difficulties; earlier this year driving back from a gig their tour bus was written off in a nasty road accident.
A good starter if you’ve never seen The Suffrajets is their excellent EP Hold Those Eyes which contains the title track (available as a preview from their website) which sounds like L7 meeting head on with a Giorgio Moroder style bassline.

 THE SUFFRAJETS
The Suffrajets’ story began when long term friends Gemma and Alex decided to form a band after each one had spread rumours around their school that’s they could play drums and guitar respectively.
Winning over new friends with key shows at LA’s infamous Whisky-ago go club, The Suffrajets returned to England armed with their recordings which were remixed by Dan ‘LostProphets’ Sprigg.
Initially born out of their penchant for Nirvana’s bitter-suite sounds, The Suffrajets display unequivocal musical ability to write songs that hark at punk, pop, rock and grunge, and yet still maintain an important instantly recognisable sound.

 Forward Russia! / The Suffrajets Gig Review - SoundsXP
Although they've been touring almost non-stop for what seems like forever (and aren't letting up until the week before Christmas), so they could be forgiven for being somewhat weary.
The main support was supplied by noisy rabble-rousers the Suffrajets, whose uncompromisingly in-your-face sound is akin to being hit in the ear by a sledgehammer.
The band's final song, Eleven, is cut short however, as the first three rows of the crowd all pile onto the box room-sized stage.

Despite the fact that it was difficult to see the band (and they were further away from their audience than the bands on the main stage), The Suffrajets obviously decided to make the best of a bad thing and blast out a powerhouse set whether anyone could see or hear them.
Ignoring the screeching sound quality from the woefully inadequate PA system, this was an impressive performance which added further evidence to the fact that “chicks can rock too”.
By the time I arrived at the Napster Stage, moments before the band came on stage, the tent was already rammed full of people eager to see the former Leeds-now London based quintet in action.
