Sleater-Kinney are no more, but they left some seriously good music behind, not to mention a major influence on any "girl band" worth their salt. Carrie, Corin, and Janet received all kinds of cred for their political, often feminist message as well as for their solid musicianship. Make no mistake, they shouldn't be labeled (read: dismissed) as some riot grrrl band, but as a band that simply rocked. All of this is evident on the stellar One Beat from 2002. (If you like this, please try their final studio album, The Woods, released in 2005...and while you're at it, 2000's All Hands On the Bad One.)A good choice for: fans of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Breeders, Hole; thoughtful/thought-provoking lyrics; rrrock.
Tracks to try: One Beat, Oh, Light Rail Coyote, Step Aside, Hollywood Ending
