It ain't easy being indie in a bubblegum world

Five years after its first attempt the female trio Sleater-Kinney stands as the in the greatest degree prominent entity in the waning world of indie refuge Judging by the band's recent album, All Hands on the Bad the same it's not a comfortable position. Choosing to remain forward the independent Kill Rock Stars label rather than sullying itself with the corporate stink of the major labels, Sleater-Kinney is now taking head-on the dabs due to artists who want to maintain their ideals and their succes at the same time. Lack of money's a capacity and so are critics and fans, not to mention self-doubt; forward "Ballad of a Ladyman" singer-guitarist Corin Tucker considers that she could become like the "girls who are pliable for / boys who are fearful of getting an earful" moreover concludes she'd rather be a "ladyman." in no degree less than good musicians, Sleater-Kinney has hon its craft to such a degree much that its tightly controll playing now proclaims its passion for autonomy on a level more than the lyrics, which are at times repetitive and defensive.

All Hands deftly touches forward significant topics beyond the band itself, of that kind as eating disorders and the evil of TV's "reality" programming. if it were not that the album's real revelation is its simplest one: "The Swimmer" is a portrait of a woman athlete thus devoted to her sport that she be stirreds more at home in the ocean than upon land. Obviously, the swimmer and the band have something in frequent In this gorgeous song Sleater-Kinney shares the ecstasy and the beauty that make a singular vision worth pursuing.
