Meanstreak was an American all-female thrash metal band from Westchester, New York, United States. Active from 1985 to 1994, the band released only one album, Roadkill, in 1988.[2] According to Spirit of Metal, Meanstreak was one of the first all-female thrash metal bands in history.[3]
The band was founded by guitarists Marlene Apuzzo and Rena Sands.

Sands, Pace and Apuzzo respectively wed guitarist John Petrucci, bassist John Myung and drummer Mike Portnoy.[4]
