SLEATER-KINNEY

Sleater-Kinney is celebrating the 30th anniversary of their second album, Call the Doctor, with a vinyl edition. Sleater-Kinney is an acclaimed American rock band, formed in Olympia, Washington, in 1994. The band consists of Corin Tucker (vocals and guitar), Carrie Brownstein (guitar and vocals), and Janet Weiss (drums). Sleater-Kinney was known for its feminist and left-wing beliefs, playing a vital role in the riot grrrl and indie rock scenes of the Pacific Northwest. Call the Doctor is the second studio album by Sleater-Kinney. It was produced by John Goodmanson and was initially released on March 25, 1996, by Chainsaw Records. The album is often considered Sleater-Kinney's first true album, as Tucker and singer-guitarist Carrie Brownstein had left their previous bands, Heavens to Betsy and Excuse 17, by the time of its recording. The lineup included Corin Tucker (vocals, guitar), Carrie Brownstein (guitar, vocals), and Lora Macfarlane (drums, vocals). Call the Doctor was ranked third in The Village Voice's 1996 "Pazz & Jop" critics poll. In 2010, it was ranked 49th on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 best albums of the 1990s.
