...SLEATER-KINNEY...
...Sleater-Kinney The Woods; $14.98 After six admirable but unadorable records, this trio of very earnest, very intense women from the Northwest decided to let loose their inner Led Zeppelin. The guitar playing is heavy, dexterous and hook laden, but the polish of the melodies never obscures their calling card-the raw, intermingled wails of Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein. Best Tracks: The Fox, Jumpers, Rollercoaster...
...SLEATER-KINNEY...
...younger than twenty-five, growing up together in the same Swedish neighborhood, eventually discovering the Buzzcocks and Ramones and deciding to take on today’s hipster boys at their own game of 80’s-inspired punk-pop. While the formula sounds more Spice Girls than Sleater-Kinney, the Hotnights still manage legitimacy. Since their teenage years the four have been making rock music on their own terms and have risen from European obscurity thanks to nonstop dedication and undeniable talent. They landed stateside in 2002 with their sophomore album, Jennie Bomb, sold to the American audience...
...first listen might reveal Sahara Hotnights as nothing but a B-league Sleater-Kinney, but after a few spins it’s clear that this band makes no pretensions to the riot-grrl ideology usually accompanying any girl-group aspiring to produce punk-pop. In short, they are playing this music without any agenda but fun, and this veneer permeates every moment. This band doesn’t need videos of themselves waterskiing in formation or cavorting playfully around a fountain to prove themselves as true to their declared image: the music of Kiss & Tell speaks for itself
