I mean the straight answer is industry-wide sexism, I guess.
Yep, Iām having a Sleater Kinney day.
I remember years and years ago having a blue Matador CD sampler thing that had loads of tracks from bands I ended up loving on it (including Modest Mouse who I heard for the first time represented by āHeart Cooks Brainā)
The SK track on there was āBanned from the end of the worldā and I didnāt like it at all so I let them pass me by for years and years and only really got into the retrospectively once they were on hiatus. I still maintian that thatās pretty much their only bad song and I feel extra bitter about it because if theyād been represented by almost anything else they could have been a band Iād have loved years earlier.
Iāve never listened to a Sleater Kinney album even though I know I would probably enjoy it. Should probably remedy that tbh tbfā¦
Great band. Very bad ideaā¦
Quite possibly my favorite.
i own this one and have listened to Dig Me Out a couple of times. need to listen to some of the others. been meaning to check out The Woods for ages so might remedy that this week.
Hot rock. Is amazing. Go for that next. Completely changed their dynamic. Duelling vocals on every track. Very treble heavy. Quite unique
Just checked in to say that Sleater Kinney are real swell. Real swell.
If you like it Iād just go backwards through their catalogue from there Iād say.
A wise investment!
So you suggest I listen to their entire discography?
The Woods is my favourite. Heavy punch in the stomach from the off. The middle of Rollercoaster sounds like The Ronettes in a wind tunnel. Letās Call it Love into Night Light is simply immense. Janet Weiss is the best drummer in rock music. Amazing record.
A billionty times this^
Do it!
Yeah, theyāre alright aināt they
Tracks like Fade from No Cities is one of my absolute favourites. The recorded version just wants me to see them live, as I would imagine it is immense.
Can anyone confirm?
I agree, always superb and surprising. I was lucky enough to chat to her after a Quasi gig in Birmingham about five years ago and told her as much!
Was amazing hearing it live when they played in London last time
