No screaming bands unless they scream AND sing… like eyes set to kill.
Nothing like evanesence, within temptation or anything like that…
so i guess more like pop- rock/ alternative bands… What are some good ones! And what are some song i should listen too?

I’m sorry, but none of those bands you mentioned are any good — artistically or stylistically.
Do yourself a favor and either get into some Riot Grrrl (Bratmobile, Huggy Bear, Bikini Kill) or just straight up listen to every Sonic Youth song with Kim Gordon on vocals. Look into X Ray Spex, the Raincoats, Hole, The Breeders and the Slits, too.
Hayley Whatserface from Paramore wouldn’t be where she is today without these female punk/rock singers.

Since you’ve said ‘Rock’, I’m going to throw out some newer and older bands {and solo females} from various Rock / Pop-Rock / Acoustic genres {some ‘**’ have female male singers}. At first glance, you may dismiss them because of who they are, but please give them a chance ~ you could be surprised with what you might like.
Blackmore’s Night
Inkubus Sukkubus
Goldfrapp
Fleetwood Mac {1971+, esp. 1975+} **
Vinegar Joe **
Fairport Convention **
Stone the Crows
Fotheringay**
Pentangle **
Heart
Eurythmics
Mike Oldfield {1979+} **
Jefferson Airplane
Solo-females :~
Stevie Nicks
Sandy Denny
Tori Amos
Sarah McLachlan
Eva Cassidy
Annie Lennox
Sandi Thom
Belinda Carlisle
Ladyhawke ~ ‘Danny Jenny’, ‘My Delerium’, and ‘Magic’
Florence and The Machine ~ ‘Howl’ and ‘Drumming Song’
Bat for Lashes ~ ‘Sleep Alone’ and ‘Daniel’
It would take too long to add songs for them all here, but if you want me to recommend some, just send me a message.

The Moxy is good. If you like Bam Margera, you should listen to them because he directed some of their videos and he is a big fan also. Listen to Step Down Good Song
