The Accolade

Saudi Arabia's second all-female rock band (Saudi Arabia's first all-female rock band is Chicks Behind Walls) formed in 2008. Their name comes from the title of a painting by pre-Raphaelite English painter Edmund Blair Leighton. Formed in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the band has not had the chance yet to perform live in Saudi Arabia due to the country's restrictions regarding live music. For fear of public outcry, the band has also chosen to keep their jam sessions secret. The band is comprised of Dina (guitar), Dareen (bass guitar), Lamia (vocals) and Amjad (keyboard).

They are currently still looking for a female drummer to complete the lineup.

So far, they've only released one song, Pinocchio. Not much else is known about the band other than that they perform in English.
