EVERYBODY LOVES OUR TOWN: AN ORAL HISTORY OF GRUNGE – PAPERBACK – BOOK

Description

Twenty years after the release of Nirvanas landmark album Nevermind comes “Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge”, the definitive word on the grunge era, straight from the mouths of those at the center of it all. “Everybody Loves Our Town” captures the grunge era in the words of the musicians, producers, managers, record executives, video directors, photographers, journalists, publicists, club owners, roadies, scenesters and hangers-on who lived through it. The book tells the whole story: from the founding of the Deep Six bands to the worldwide success of grunges big four (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains); from the rise of Seattles cash-poor, hype-rich indie label Sub Pop to the major-label feeding frenzy that overtook the Pacific Northwest; from the simple joys of making noise at basement parties and tiny rock clubs to the tragic, lonely deaths of superstars Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley.
