Dig Me Out, Sleater-Kinney's third album, came roaring out of Kill Rock Stars on April 8, 1997, and it's the sound of a band finding its engine. That engine is Janet Weiss, making her debut behind the drums and hitting like she's got something to prove, while Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein trade guitar lines and lead vocals that coil around each other like barbed wire. John Goodmanson produced it at John and Stu's Place in Seattle over the winter of 1996 into 1997.
The Olympia band grew out of riot grrrl, but here they reach back to straight-ahead rock and roll, and even the sleeve tips its hat to the Kinks' 1965 LP The Kink Kontroversy. The songs are about heartbreak and getting through it, delivered with feminist bite and a whole lot of volume. "One More Hour" and "Little Babies" were the singles, and it's the record now remembered as their breakthrough.
