Wild Flag: Wild Flag

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Sleater-Kinney drastically changed course on 2005’s The Woods, shifting from punk to something more akin to overdriven classic rock. That move was commendable not only for its boldness, but also for its successful execution. The band broke up the following year, with only drummer Janet Weiss making a quick transition to another group (Stephen Malkmus And The Jicks); guitarist-vocalist Corin Tucker didn’t re-emerge until this year, when she released a solo album; and Wild Flag marks the return of guitarist-vocalist Carrie Brownstein. But it’s hardly the Brownstein show. Wild Flag features a lineup of indie-rock all-stars, including Weiss on drums, Mary Timony (Helium) on guitars and vocals, and Rebecca Cole (The Minders) on keys and vocals.
