>> Sleater-Kinney

One of the most successful bands to spring from Olympia, Wash.'s, riot grrrl scene, Sleater-Kinney would help to revitalize punk rock in the late '90s. Moving away from the raging guitars of '90s punk, the trio would instead favor light, trebly guitars and an edgy sound. Mixing punk's revolutionary politics with indie's sense of melody and femenist politics, Sleater-Kinney would become one of the most influential and visceral acts by the late '90s.
