30 years after they formed as part of the Riot Grrrl movement, alt-rock icons Sleater-Kinney are back with Little Rope, one of the finest, most delicately layered records in the band’s nearly 30-year career.

Hailing from Olympia, Washington, and known for their feminist and progressive lyrics, Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein make music to make a difference. Their punk, alternative and indie rock riffs paired with signature wailing vocals have been critically acclaimed and revered by fans alike for over three decades.

Not only do Sleater-Kinney have a thoroughly excellent new album out with Little Rope, they’re also set to return to Australia for shows in support of the record, a country that has a special place in Sleater-Kinney’s heart as it is where they recorded their self-titled debut album in just one night back in 1994.

Corin caught up with 2SER Breakfast to chat about the fond but blurry memories of recording the album and the legacy they’ve since built.
