SLEATER-KINNEY REACH CAREER-HIGH BILLBOARD 200 DEBUT WITH 'NO CITIES TO LOVE' (SUB POP)

Sleater-Kinney's first album in nearly ten years, 'No Cities To Love,' debuted at 18 on the Billboard 200 chart today, the highest in the band's 20 year career, and in the top 5 on the following charts: Independent Albums, Vinyl Albums and Top Alternative Albums.

The opening was preceded by near universal acclaim from The New York Times ("the first great album of 2015"), NPR's Fresh Air ("exhilarating"), Rolling Stone (4 stars), Pitchfork (Best New Music), Entertainment Weekly (A rating), and many more; major features and spreads including New York Times, NPR Morning Edition, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and Billboard; performances on The Late Show with David Letterman and Conan; and a live interview with Comedy Central's Broad City, presented by NPR Music.
