Sleater-Kinney returns in style with big effort

January 25, 2015, Sunday | Print Edition

WHEN Sleater-Kinney split in 2006, they left an era-defining, seven-album legacy — recently reissued as a box set — that tackled everything from the commercialization of feminism to 9/11 with a ferocious defiance.

They were also experts at shaking up the machismo of classic rock: They paid homage to Springsteen, the Clash and the Who, and wrote big, stomping anthems that made it OK for young feminists to believe in the notion of rock ‘n’ roll as savior. Eight years later, the reformed trio has lost none of its fire.

“No Cities to Love” is a towering, fists-up record of thundering guitars and soaring hooks, from the rally against consumerism in “Price Tag” to the grown-up anxieties of “Bury Our Friends.”
