The Birth Of Grunge Exposed In 2006
New album chronicles the days before
Nirvana and Pearl Jam
epitiomized Seattle's music scene.
On February 7th, 2006 Livewire Recordings will release Sleepless In
Seattle: The Birth of Grunge, a compilation of 20 rare recordings from
some of the band responsible for setting the stage for the eventual
emergence of the sub-genre of modern rock critics labeled "grunge."
The set chronicles the beginnings of Seattle's underground rock
movement from the mid 80s to early 90s by featuring seminal recordings
from the pioneers of the movement, including Green River, The Melvins,
Malfunkshun, Screaming Trees, Mudhoney, Babes in Toyland, Tad, Skin
Yard, The Gits, 7 Year Bitch and the Supersuckers, to name a few.
The album was Executive produced by Colin Cobb, founder and president
of Livewire Recordings and produced by Grammy-nominated producer Ted
Myers (Nuggets, Troubadours of British Folk) as well as Clark Humphrey
(author of The Real Seattle Music Story). The set will feature
extensive liner notes in the form of a 16-page booklet penned by
Humphrey, detailing the history of the Seattle music scene from the
mid 80s to early 90s.
"These bands are the unsung heroes," said Cobb. "Although they didn't
become multi-platinum megastars, they went on to influence and form
some of the biggest, chart topping groups in music history. As we
approach the 20th anniversary of the birth of grunge music, we are
thrilled to bring this significant historical compilation, which
includes many bands whose music has not been made available for years,
to fans everywhere. This project was a labor of love."
