Sleater-Kinney

Sleater-Kinney was among the most critically acclaimed bands of the 1990s, emerging in the final days of the riot-grrrl movement to fuse radical feminism with challenging, fiery punk. The all-female trio also became dynamic leaders of an alternative-rock movement that had otherwise lost its way in the post-Nirvana years. The band is mostly unknown to the mainstream and has shown little interest in recording for a major label. But for Sleater-Kinny rock & roll is more about empowerment and community than stardom.
