The band’s current lineup features Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein, following the departure of longtime member Janet Weiss in 2019.

Is Sleater-Kinney still a Band?
Sleater-Kinney was formed in early 1994 in Olympia, Washington, by Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein. The group’s name derives from Sleater Kinney Road, in Lacey, Washington, where signs for Interstate 5 exit number 108 announce its existence.
One of the band’s early practice spaces was near Sleater Kinney Road. Tucker was formerly in the influential riot grrrl band Heavens to Betsy, while Brownstein was formerly in the band Excuse 17.
The Band still performs even though long-time member Janet Weiss left the group in 2019.
In May 2021, the band announced a new album, Path of Wellness, released on June 11. The first single, “Worry With You” was released on May 11, 2021.
