WLRN’s Julia Beck had the pleasure of interviewing Otep Shamaya, lead singer and namesake of the band Otep, about her experiences as a woman and out Lesbian in the rock scene. Otep was the first female-fronted band to headline Ozzfest. With politically inspired lyrics and heavy metal riffs, her music sends a message of revolution. You can find Otep’s new album, Kult 45, online and in stores now!
