Discuss Grunge
It all started, roughly 9 years ago when I heard Nirvana “Bleach” record when I became obsessed with the sound that was Grunge. Growing up I never found my niche musically; couldn’t relate to what MTV was selling me, and couldn’t find meaning in the hip hop and rap music. At the prime age of 15, I bought my first record, which was the aforementioned Nirvana record, and instantly I was hooked. Coincidentally, while searching for more music I stumbled across the Pearl Jam and Alice in chains and those were bands i listened to.I didn’t know these bands were linked by region, musicians and sound. After I listened to them, I remember my eyes bugging out, my jaw open repeating the word “wow” a few times. I finally found my niche musically…..And it was Grunge, the sound of Seattle, but more importantly the Pacific Northwest music scene as a whole. 9 years later, I’m still hooked on what I heard.
Since few people share my passion or understanding of the music I love, I created this blog to connect to those artists that I admire and relate too, as well as to connect to those love the music too. Now, if you’re coming here to read about Nirvana, Alice In Chains, or Pearl Jam you’re sadly mistaken. I’m focusing mostly on the more underground bands; those who received little or no attention outside their respective towns. Expect bands like Swallow, Blood Circus, U-Men, and TAD, don’t expect the big four bands. If I some how stumble across some rare tracks or get a sweet interview with one of the members, I’ll post them, otherwise don’t hold your breath.
Now that I rambled for a bit, let’s get this party started! Tie your flannel shirts to your waist, put on your Converse All-Stars, and get ready to hear some of the grittiest, dirtiest and fuzziest music you’ll ever lay your ears on.
