631. Sleater-Kinney - one beat

One Beat combines the pop punk melodies with the harder stuff that I mentioned earlier... it's a near perfect album. The album, as with many others that came out in 03, centers around our current administration, 9/11 and the war in Iraq... the main difference here is that SK manage to address these issues in an often clever, not so obvious way. Check out the great, great title track below, it sounds like a warm up song for a riot.
