Corin Tucker

Corin Tucker is an American musician, born in Pennsylvania in 1972. She is best known as a founding member, singer, and guitarist for the influential rock band Sleater-Kinney. The band emerged from the feminist punk rock movement known as riot grrrl in Olympia, Washington, in the early 1990s. Sleater-Kinney gained acclaim for their aggressive sound and socially conscious lyrics, often addressing issues of gender inequality and consumer culture. Tucker's distinctive, powerful vocals and guitar playing are central to the band's sound. After Sleater-Kinney disbanded in 2006, Tucker released solo material as the Corin Tucker Band. Sleater-Kinney reunited in 2013 and has continued to release music and tour.
