Description
Description
The band that made grunge famous was Nirvana. Founding members, Kurt Cobain and Krist Novaselic met at a Melvins concert in their hometown of Aberdeen, Washington. They put out their first full-length "Bleach" in 1988 on the new Seattle label Sub Pop. And their platinum 1991 release "Nevermind" would make them, and grunge, a household name across the planet. Why did Nirvana break out of Seattle to become the defining band of the grunge era? Seattle producer Jack Endino, Sub Pop founder Bruce Pavitt and Nirvana member Krist Novaselic give their current opinions on the shocking rise and fall of one of the greatest rock bands in history.
