Sleater-Kinney, an American rock band, formed in Olympia, Washington, in early 1994, founded by Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein. The band’s name originates from Sleater Kinney Road in Lacey, Washington, an Interstate 5 exit. Both Tucker and Brownstein had backgrounds in riot grrrl bands, Heavens to Betsy and Excuse 17, respectively, and initially conceived Sleater-Kinney as a side project. Their debut self-titled album was recorded in an all-night session in Melbourne, Australia, in early 1994, featuring drummer Lora MacFarlane, and was released the following spring. This marked their transition into a full-time endeavor.
Sleater-Kinney gained significant momentum with their 1996 album, “Call the Doctor,” which received critical acclaim and popularized them within the American underground music scene. In 1997, Janet Weiss joined as the band’s drummer, contributing to their album “Dig Me Out.” This release further expanded their audience. The band’s discography includes “The Hot Rock” (1999), “All Hands on the Bad One” (2000), and “One Beat” (2002), showcasing a progression in musical complexity and the integration of political themes. A notable milestone was their opening slot for Pearl Jam in 2003, which exposed them to larger audiences and influenced the heavier sound of their 2005 album, “The Woods.” The group announced an indefinite hiatus in 2006, with their final major public performance at the Lollapalooza music festival that year.
The band reunited in 2014, signaling a new phase in their career. Their comeback album, “No Cities to Love,” was released in 2015 to their largest audience yet, followed by a supporting tour and a live album, “Live in Paris,” in 2017. After the departure of Janet Weiss in 2019, Tucker and Brownstein continued as a duo, releasing “The Center Won’t Hold” (2019), which was produced by St. Vincent, and the self-produced “Path of Wellness” (2021). In 2022, they celebrated the 25th anniversary of “Dig Me Out” with a covers album, “Dig Me In: A Dig Me Out Covers Album.” Their eleventh studio album, “Little Rope,” released in 2024 and produced by John Congleton, balances their post-punk explorations with earlier punk rock influences.
