Runaways

The all-female band had to push past a lot of preconceived opinions.

Joan Jett is a rock and roll pioneer and icon. From her teenage years with the legendary Runaways and right up to her brand new album, 'Unvarnished,' Jett has been rocking full throttle for the better part of 40 years now, and is showing no signs of stopping anytime soon.

Founding Runaways guitarist Joan Jett and singer Cherie Currie are suing to stop the release of an album set to pay homage to the '70s all-girl rock band. The disc, 'Take It or Leave It: A Tribute to the Queens of Noise' is set to come out on June 28.
