Riot Grrrl is BACK
Hold on to your balls little boys - Riot Grrrl is back with enough twee to make you cum from a simple dry hump. Back in 1991 Bikini Kill took the historical credit for starting Riot Grrrl, but Sleater-Kinney's new album "The Woods" has reinvigorated the feminine sound in rock, competing with the all male all the time new release from System of a Down. This album was rockin before you hit the play button, you just got lucky enough to tune in. Time away from recording (just a couple years...) didn't affect the ladies' love of unique industry tone and whipped harmonies. While they have quite a reputation based on past albums (good for the marketing value of their new record,) it's possible that this is their best work to date.
"Nostalgia, you're using it like a whore/ It's better than before"
The switch from beloved label Kill Rock Stars over to Sub Pop brought with it a shift in sound - worth exploring regardless of your feelings about Sleater-Kinney during the seattle surge. If seattle riot grrrl was too estrogenic, The new Riot Grrrl is less calculating, eager to revel in the value of shared male-female domination. While older SK albums are some of the best in riot grrl history and overall "math rock" n roll, "The Woods" is more distorted and wider in melodic range, proving that the new valkyrie is a rock star, too.
Best release from Sub-Pop since the Postal Service - "The Woods" sounds like Blondie fucked Death From Above 1979 and got it all on tape - but the joke's on you - it's Sleater-Kinney, again. Not for the weak-hipped or passionless plenty.

My baby loves me
I'm so happy
Happiness makes me
A modern girl
I took my money
And bought a TV
TV brings me
Closer to the world
My baby loves me
I'm so hungry
Hunger makes me
A modern girl
I took my money
And bought a donut
The hole's the size of
The entire world
My baby loves me
I'm so angry
Anger makes me
A modern girl
I took my money
I couldn't buy nothin'
I'm sick of this
Brave new world
My whole life
was like a picture
of a sunny day.
My whole life
looked like a picture of a sunny day.
