"A complete, exhaustive and authoritative account of Music 1.0's last successful marketing experiment . . . an invaluable record." —Eye Weekly
"Probably the most complete time capsule of a particular era in music history that has been penned to date." —Popmatters.com
"This tome is heavy and honorable, like a tombstone. If grunge is dead now (and by all accounts it is, despite its ongoing impact on rock music today) it was most certainly was alive." —Popdose.com
"Fifteen years after Kurt Cobain's suicide comes an exhaustive tome (nearly 500 pages) . . . if you're still embracing the plaid button-ups of yesteryear, you might actually feel like you've died and gone to heaven." —Filter
"An enlightening chronological history of the Seattle rock scene from the 1960s through the mid-90s, as told by the folks who lived it." —YuppiePunk.org
Weaving together the definitive story of the Seattle music scene through a series of interviews with the people who were there, this book contains more than 130 interviews, along with essential background information. Digging deeper than other accounts, this history begins in the early 1960s, tracing the chain of events that spawned some of the greatest rock acts of all time in the 1990s, including Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden. First-ever interviews include Eddie Vedder's take on Pearl Jam’s history, a discussion among the members of Alice in Chains, and Layne Staley’s mother’s comments on her son's drug addiction and death. There is also plenty of information on less well-known aspects of the grunge scene, including the Riot Grrrl movement and the oft-overlooked but highly influential Seattle bands such as Mother Love Bone/Andy Wood, the Melvins, Screaming Trees, and Mudhoney. The end result is a comprehensive guide that includes a wealth of previously untold stories and offers a fresh and immediate approach to music history.
