Oh we have a great episode for you, really....all bias aside...it's a belter

We look at one of the longest standing and most important bands to come out of the Pacific Northwest's Riot Grrl scene ... Sleater-Kinney

We discuss sexism in the music industry, the impact a producer can have on a band, how Sleater-Kinney inspired our guests, The start of the Riot Grrrl Revolution, and obviously a bunch of records!!

Re-joining Nick and Ewan are Cheri Amour and Fliss Kitson whose early bands were heavily influenced by the work of SK, Lexicographer and huge fan Ben Zimmer, and ...drumroll please... for this episode only.... the author of "Girls to the Front: The True Story of the Riot Grrl Revolution" ; Sara Marcus!!!!!!!!

In this episode we discuss the following (Links are to Bandcamp)

Sleater Kinney - 1995

Call the Doctor - 1996

Dig Me Out - 1997

The Hot Rock - 1999

All Hands on the Bad One - 2000

As usual there's a Spotify playlist incorporating the podcast and selected songs which you can find at https://sptfy.com/tfsk1
