Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

It's not all that uncommon for the artists, writers, and musicians of a community to band together for a worthy local cause. But when the community is the fabled '90s rock mecca of Seattle, a local benefit is bound to assume national interest. Such is the case with Home Alive: The Art of Self Defense, a double-CD of music and spoken word poetry whose proceeds go to Home Alive, a Seattle-area non-profit organization dedicated to providing self-defense training and resources to combat violence. Home Alive's primary inspiration is Mia Zapata, singer of the Seattle band the Gits who was raped and murdered in 1993. Memories of Zapata run throughout Home Alive: Her music (with the Gits and solo), her former bandmates (as Evil Stig and Dancing French Liberals of '48), and her tragedy (violence and abuse). Brutal words from Lydia Lunch ("Why We Murder"), Natalie Jacobson ("Got What Was Coming"), and Bobby Miller ("Keep You Mouth Off My Sisters") make it clear Home Alive's response is not one of antiviolence but rather counterviolence--and that often requires fighting back forcefully.

With a few honorable exceptions (Jello Biafra, Jim Carroll, Joan Jett), Home Alive draws its talent pool entirely from the Seattle music scene, including the big guys (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Heart), the mid-sized (7 Year Bitch, Presidents of the U.S.A., Fastbacks, Supersuckers), and the little ones (Los Hornets, North American Bison, Catfood, Christdriver). The range of emotions and responses presented sends a tremendous message of solidarity to victims everywhere. And given all the grunge hype thrown Seattle's way, it's both disarming and touching to find that true substance and community actually exist there. --Roni Sarig

Home Alive: You Need This Album

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2017

Verified Purchase

This compilation, created as a result of a horrific tragedy, is a stunning collection of music and spoken word pieces that will leave you gobsmacked. Home Alive: The Art of Self Defense is one of my all-time favorite albums for a very good reason. As a survivor, I hope to help others not suffer as I've had to. If another project of this type is created, I aspire to be a voice for the voiceless in any way I can. Anyone intending to inform the masses, don't hesitate to ask. I will say, "Yes!"

Meanwhile, get this album. You need it. We all do.

...but a couple of these tracks are so contradictory to the purpose of Home Alive that they should have not been included.

This is a very cool compilation of music by Seattle artists for the Home Alive Charity. Gits, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Nirvana and more. The cause is great. Love the songs.

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2000

Profits go to the Home Alive project. Musically this is a collection of tracks by a diverse collection of punk/grunge artists.Pearl Jam collectors need this for their cover of "Leaving Here".Some tracks are spoken word pieces.Also of interest are Nirvana's "Radio Friendly Unit Shifter(live)" and Soundgarden's "Kyle Petty (Son Of Richard)".

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2014

It is sad that this compilation is still so relevant after 20 odd years. I had a burned copy of this from the 90s and misplaced it years ago. I recently read new articles about Mia and her murder and it renewed my interest in this organization and album. Great songs, great artists, great message.

Great Stuff Still

Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2011

Heading to Seattle tomorrow for the first time and listened to this today for the first time in years. And found myself wondering how it ever fell out of my normal listening rotation. Great music from bands I know and some I've never heard of not being a local. Highly recommend if you like that Seattle Northwest sound from the late 80's early 90's. Also found it cool that Mia went to school (and started her band) in Yellow Springs, Ohio which is near where I'm from.

Felt the need to write a review and try to balance the negative one from someone who apparently has a bone to pick if he didn't know an artist previously.
