American rock band Sleater-Kinney mark 30 years of playing together this year.
During that time they've been crowned America's best Rock band, and become as well known for their feminist politics as their music.
The band - now comprised of Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein - has been through several iterations.
Their 11th studio album Little Rope - created at a time of trauma - was released at the start of the year.
And next week they'll perform their only New Zealand show at Auckland's Tuning Fork.
