In her article, “Riot Women”, author Lindsay Zoladz discusses the band Sleater-Kinney, who recently released their newest album No Cities to Love after ten years of silence. Sleater-Kinney first hit the rock scene in 1994. In an industry dominated by males, this all-girl group sought to redefine the term “rock musician” to be non-gender-specific. Boasting lyrics such as “I won’t suck your big ego and then swallow all my pride / I’m just spitting out the memory and stains you left inside of me”, the band seemingly challenged the male musician archetype. A part of the riot grrrl feminist movement, Sleater-Kinney kept the spirit of gender equality alive alongside bands like Bikini Kill and Heavens to Betsy. However, after nearly eleven years of sticking it to the men, during which time they released seven albums, opened for Pearl Jam, and were dubbed the “best band in America” by music critic Greil Marcus, Sleater-Kinney disbanded and the three members, Carrie Brownstein, Janet Weiss, and Corin Tucker, went their separate ways.
