About Corin Tucker

Corin Tucker is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist best known for her work with rock band Sleater-Kinney, which she formed with Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss. Tucker is also a member of the alternative rock supergroup Filthy Friends with Peter Buck of R.E.M., and previously recorded with the riot grrrl band Heavens to Betsy as well as The Corin Tucker Band.

Entertainment Weekly writes, "Corin Tucker's place in rock history is already set in stone, and her work in the riot grrrl era is pretty much peerless, thanks to the muscular guitar style, otherworldly wail, and knack for punchy, pounding three-minute blasts she brought to such great heights with riot queens Sleater-Kinney." Rolling Stone called her "a punk-rock heroine." In 2023, Rolling Stone ranked Tucker at number 155 on its list of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time.
