What I appreciate about Sleater-Kinney is that we did six records, and they all felt different. It was a band that was able to encapsulate different sensibilities because we were focusing on it as music and art and not as a statement.

This band has a weight to it. Our songs feel important to play... That was missing in my life without Sleater-Kinney.

Janet Weiss

Thank you for the music, Sleater-Kinney. This gang of three was the best American punk rock band ever. Ever.

The Bishop of London sympathies with everything that is earnest; but what is earnest is not always true; on the contrary error is often more earnest than truth.

Benjamin Disraeli

Act in earnest and you will become earnest in all you do.

William James

Sleater-Kinney is a band that we hold close to our hearts as well; it's not something that we're cynical or jaded about. We only feel gratefulness and appreciation for other people's enthusiasm about it. We would never be annoyed by that.

You can be as earnest and ridiculous as you need to be, if you don't attempt it in isolation. The ridiculously earnest are known to travel in groups. And they are known to change the world.

Barbara Kingsolver
