Which indie rock band released the 1997 album 'Dig Me Out'?

The story behind the answer

Sleater-Kinney released the 1997 indie rock album Dig Me Out.

Dig Me Out was the third studio album by the Pacific Northwest trio Sleater-Kinney, released on April 8, 1997, by Kill Rock Stars. The group at the time consisted of Corin Tucker, Carrie Brownstein, and drummer Janet Weiss, whose arrival helped define the band's driving, tightly locked sound.

The album followed Sleater-Kinney's self-titled debut and Call the Doctor, but it marked a major step forward in songwriting and production. Its songs combine punk urgency with sharp guitar interplay, direct vocals, and themes of desire, independence, conflict, and emotional recovery. The title track and “One More Hour” became especially associated with the record.

Listeners sometimes confuse Dig Me Out with the band's 1996 album Call the Doctor or the 1999 follow-up The Hot Rock. Dig Me Out is the Sleater-Kinney title from 1997, and it is widely regarded as a landmark of the riot grrrl and broader feminist punk movements.
