The Smashing Pumpkins rose to fame during the grunge movement of
the early nineties, however, the Chicago quartet’s soaring
guitar-driven anthems and beautifully crafted ballads instantly set
them apart from their Seattle contemporaries. Possessing not one
but two magnum opuses in their extensive back catalogue- the moody
and reflective Siamese Dream, and the sprawling double-disc,
diamond-certified Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, found the
band once tipped to be the next Nirvana entirely in a league of
their own. The Pumpkins’ career has been meticulously
orchestrated by Billy Corgan, a songwriter for the ages who has
never shied away from exploring and expanding the boundaries of
alternative rock. Without his immeasurable creativity and
irrefutable desire, the Smashing Pumpkins would never have achieved
the successes which came their way. The Smashing Pumpkins on track
revisits the band’s triumphant first decade, uncovering the
stories behind the songs on their six studio albums released during
this period, as well as standalone singles, movie soundtrack
entries, EPs, and a whole host of B-sides and rarities. Also acting
as a detailed biography, this book is an essential guide to the
music of one of the nineties’ biggest rock bands.
