Sometimes, I long for the crunch of a rock guitar. But only when it's done well. Sleater-Kinney were the best rock band around until they broke up a few years ago. We've been bereft of the awesome sound of Sleater-Kinney since then. Sure, Corin Tucker brought out an album with her own band, but her unearthly blues wail just wasn't the same without Carrie Brownstein's guitar and Janet Weiss's drums. Enter Wild Flag. This band is about the closest we'll get to a Sleater-Kinney reunion in a while, and while they don't exactly capture Sleater-Kinney's wild abandon, they get pretty close. Brownstein and Weiss are joined by Rebecca Cole of The Minders and Mary Timony of the obscenely underrated noise pop band Helium to form Wild Flag. If you like your guitars crunchy and melodic and your music just a touch snotty, Wild Flag are for you. And if you've never heard Helium, check them out too.
