Mudhoney : The Sound and The Fury from Seattle (Updated Edition)
Mudhoney - Book - by Keith Cameron
(2022)
'The
definitive book on nineties Seattle music and scene pioneers Mudhoney.
They lit the fuse that set off an explosion' Mark Lanegan'...probably
the best book written about grunge' Paul Brannigan, Classic
Rock'Mudhoney are the jewel of Seattle.' Thurston Moore, Sonic YouthIf
rock fans associate Seattle primarily with nirvana and pearl jam, time
has shown that the city's most influential grunge band may well have
been Mudhoney. They're still going strong and this is their story.
Formed
in early 1988 Mudhoney originally comprised Mark Arm, Matt Lukin, Dan
Peters and Steve Turner and their debut single, 'Touch Me I'm Sick', was
the catalytic force behind Nirvana and Pearl Jam who took grunge
global. Mudhoney's would have been another story of half-forgotten
pioneers paving the way for others who grabbed the prize... except they
not only survived all the classic rock band excesses, but they also kept
on producing great music.
Bolstered
by new member Guy Maddison, they celebrated their quarter-century with a
superb 2013 album, Vanishing Point, and showed no signs of slowing down
with the release of Digital Garbage in 2018 and Morning In America in
2019. Updated with a new chapter drawing on fresh interviews with the
group, this book tells an unconventional tale of rock heroism about a
band that missed out on superstardom but kept control of the music and
triumphantly outlived their more famous disciples.
