Sleater‐Kinney

In June 2005, Sleater-Kinney was in the midst of their career peak, having released their highly acclaimed album "The Woods" just a year earlier in 2005. This album marked a significant evolution in their sound, embracing a more experimental and heavier rock style. "The Woods" was noted for its intense riffs and vocal dynamics, showcasing the band’s willingness to push boundaries within the punk rock genre. The live recording at the Crystal Ballroom captures the raw energy of their performances during this era, reflecting the band's dedication to their craft and their strong connection with audiences. Interestingly, the period surrounding this performance was characterized by heightened media attention, as Sleater-Kinney was often hailed as leading figures in the riot grrrl movement and indicative of the broader indie rock scene.
