=forgotten Sounds Of The North West Grunge Era 1986-97= |
|
| Description: | Comprehensive double CD, bringing together the hidden, lost and forgotten sounds of the North-West grunge era.
Fantastically in-depth sleevenotes â?¢ Band interviews â?¢ Exclusive photographs â?¢ All tracks sonically remastered.
Initially a marginalised phenomenon, the underground grunge scene of Washington had barely a handful of adherents, strung out in isolated towns across the vast state of Washington. In those early days bands who showed an allegiance to their roots of punk risked social ostracism and worse. And yet this community of outsiders produced the biggest band in the world in 1991. The unforeseen success of Nirvana turned the record label Sub Pop from an underground phenomenon into the key backstory of mainstream music's must-read tales of the 90s: it became a new Motown: substituting Seattle for Detroit. Kurt Cobain's death froze this saga into musical history forever more.
While taking nothing away from Nirvana or from Sub Pop, this release presents the complexity of the music scene of the North-West in its most infamous era. Rather than celebrating the (undeniable) talent of one band, one label, one city, this release ravels up the simple thread of music history and takes pleasure in its more tangled knots. In the late 80s and early 90s, the musical fire raging in Seattle burned so bright that no one could see pinpricks of light dotting the entire state of Washington. Beyond Seattle, the North-West skies were similarly ablaze with music and creativity.
This compilation features some of the divergent bands emerging out of the North-West during this era. Intensely researched and documented, it features bands who have now disappeared from history, after releasing maybe just a couple of singles, or an album, or never even making it onto vinyl - alongside bands who continue to this day. - =FORGOTTEN SOUNDS OF THE NORTH WEST GRUNGE ERA 1986-97="No Seattle 1986-1997" is a compelling CD compilation released by SOUL JAZZ / INDIGO, exploring the vibrant underground rock scene of Seattle before grunge became a global phenomenon. This collection features rare and influential tracks from lesser-known bands that shaped the city's alternative sound between 1986 and 1997, offering listeners an authentic glimpse into the raw energy and diversity of pre-mainstream Seattle music. The selection spans garage rock, punk, indie, and experimental sounds?showcasing how these artists laid the groundwork for later icons like Nirvana and Pearl Jam. SOUL JAZZ / INDIGO is renowned for its expertly curated compilations that delve deep into musical subcultures worldwide; their releases are celebrated for quality research, liner notes, and audio fidelity. "No Seattle" stands as both a historical document and an exhilarating listening experience for fans eager to discover hidden gems from one of America's most influential music cities. |
