Sleater-Kinney Are Still Here to Subvert

With a new album and reimagined aesthetic, Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein are still confronting social norms and questioning double standards.

Twenty-five years ago, Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein formed punk band Sleater-Kinney, galvanizing the late-’90s riot grrrl scene and propelling the ethos of the socio-musical movement into the 2000s. From their 1997 heartbreak opus,, their records have offered women catharsis by way of disarmingly raw lyrics and thrashing sounds. Their new album,, is no exception—and yet it marks an entirely new chapter for Sleater-Kinney’s founding duo.

Though a visual pivot from their grungier days, the driving catalysts behind their new aesthetic are still the same. It’s all about subverting the male gaze in true riot grrrl fashion, from sooty eye makeup to visible underarm hair. “The critique of the uniformity for women’s bodies and for patriarchal beauty standards was really important for me as a young person,” says Tucker of being inspired by the women who did it first.
