Sleater-Kinney is one of the OG “girl power” rock bands of the ’90s. They have a loyal following and continue to make music today. In fact, it is less than one month before the band’s upcoming album The Center Won’t Hold is released. This makes it all the more surprising that Weiss has chosen now to leave the band.

Sharing the news on Twitter, Weiss said in a statement: “After intense deliberation and with heavy sadness, I have decided to leave Sleater-Kinney. The band is heading in a new direction and it is time for me to move on. I will never forget the heights we reached or the magnificent times Corin, Carrie and I shared.

“We were a force of nature. To the dearest SK fans – you’re the raddest fans in the universe and I love you. Experiencing the music together has been the honor of a lifetime. Thank you for sustaining me the past 24 years and for proving without a doubt that love and connection are what saves us.”

As far as we are aware, the band’s 2020 tour will go ahead as planned and The Center Won’t Hold is still scheduled for an August release.
