Sleater-Kinney

Sleater-Kinney is an indie rock trio originally from Olympia, Washington, influenced by the riot grrrl movement of the '90s. Currently calling Portland, Oregon home, the girls are signed to SubPop and in 2005 released their 7th album, the outstanding 'The Woods'. They were a standout at Big Day Out 2006 and played a blistering set to a packed house at the Kings Arms.

Now their debut album is available again - it was originally released on Chainsaw Records in 1995.

'Sleater-Kinney' saw Heavens To Betsy's waily warbler Corin Tucker join forces with Excuse17's solemn screamer Carrie Brownstein for 10 songs in 22 minutes and their remarkable chemistry ensured the US underground circuit took them immediately to heart. They burst onto the scene with this album, showing an urgency, alongside a collection of fierce songs, which illustrated their riot grrl roots and the influences of their previous bands. 'Sleater-Kinney' is a clarion call of a debut album.
