I never heard of this band until I saw them last night, on an old episode of the Henry Rollins Show, doing this song. Loved the song and the way they down-tune their guitars rather than using a bass player. And I fancy the drummer.
This is one of the best rock songsof the decade. Thanks to lazy-cool-lazy groups like The Strokes for inspiring REAL rock comebacks like this!!! Poor The Strokes, S-K just kicked your ass!
Well because Sleater-Kinney is not pretentious. Both guitarists have been in the indie scene since the early 90s. Corin Tucker was apart of the original riot girl movement.
@ma1286 don't bother explaining to the haters.... they're gonna find a reason to be negative no matter what you say. just be passionate about what you like and let them fuck themselves.
I started listening to All Songs Considered just recently, and I knew I'd head the name Carrie Brownstein before. Figures, she was only in Sleater-fucking-Kinney!
Their technique sucks. No bass. Two lead vocals who appears to never have been properly trained. Can't say the melody is memorable. Three chicks just doing their own thing.
Why am I keep coming back to listen to this shit. Eerie.
What's so wrong with getting any education? Then what is the most essential thing to be a good rock musician? You're not gonna give me that R&R 'Spirit' bullshit, are ya?
I listen to them on & off and I still don't give a damn about their awful playing. But they are somewhat creative with the songwritings. Plus that puck madness?! I like that.
You just answered your own question. The most essential thing to a good rock musician is not technique or ability, it's songwriting. If you disagree, take a look at the fact Nirvana is one of the most popular groups of all time. Cobain couldn't play guitar for shit, but he was a creative songwriter, which is all that mattered.
Note to Paramore: Not only did Sleater-Kinney beat you to the whole "perfoming in the woods" but their form of chick rock kicks your chick rock any day of the week. "The Woods" is amazing in so many ways there's no invented way to define it.
I'm sorry, but this is bad. No ass, just bad.

@Neweddy24 They don't play indie, in part because indie isn't a genre, mostly because they sound little like most other bands labelled indie.
