  • Sleater-Kinney Songs 'Heavy When I Need It,' 'The Fog and Filthy Air' Surface Online [LISTEN]

    Sleater-Kinney's reunion album "No Cities to Love" is out today, Jan. 20, through Sub Pop, and though the digital and CD versions of the album come with 10 songs, two exclusive, vinyl-only tracks have surfaced online, which you can check out below, via "Stereogum." The first track "Heavy When I Need It" features a rare lead vocal performance from Carrie Brownstein, while the second "The Fog and Filthy Air" puts Corin Tucker back up front. They are excellent songs in which the legendary punk trio leans in to their more psychedelic impulses.

  • Sleater-Kinney Talks New Album and Tour: Band Sees Reunion as a 'Continuation'

    Sleater-Kinney was due for a break in 2006 when they went on hiatus following the release of their seventh studio effort, "The Woods."

  • St. Vincent Shares Quirky "Birth In Reverse" Music Video [WATCH]

    2014 has been quite an incredible year for Annie Clark, a.k.a. St. Vincent, and today (Dec. 16), she caps off the year with a great music video for her single "Birth in Reverse," which you can check out here. As can be expected from a St. Vincent music video, the whole thing is pretty bizarre, with images of Clark singing and dancing (or something close to dancing) in sterile, dream-like sets, though the highlights of the video are the shots of Clark playing guitar in outer space.

  • Sleater-Kinney Share New Song 'Surface Envy' From Upcoming Album 'No Cities To Love' [LISTEN]

    Recently reunited punk heroes Sleater-Kinney have shared another new song from their upcoming album "No Cities To Love," an unruly riff storm titled "Surface Envy," which you can check out below. The track, which originally premiered during an NPR interview but has now surfaced online, is classic Sleater-Kinney: dark post-punk riffs played on fuzzy guitars with singer Corin Tucker wailing over the top of it all, so diehard fans will not be disappointed. Tucker's voice has certainly matured, but she still maintains its distinctive power.
