A down-and-dirty chronicle of the birth and evolution of the
Seattle grunge scene—from amateur skate parks and underground
hardcore clubs to worldwide phenomenon—as told by one of its
founding fathers and lead guitarist of legendary alternative rock
band, Mudhoney. In the late 80s and early 90s, Steve Turned and his
friends—Seattle skate punks, hardcore kids, and assorted
misfits—started forming bands in each other’s basements and
accidentally created a unique sound that spread far beyond their
once-sleepy city. Mud Ride offers an inside look at the tight-knit
grunge scene, the musical influences and experiments that shaped
the grunge sound, and the story of Turner's bands, Green River and
Mudhoney, which went from underground flophouse shows to selling
out stadiums with Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Including stories about
the key moments, musicians, and albums from grunge's beginnings to
its come-down from the highs of global success and stardom, this is
the first account of the musical phenomenon that took over the
world from someone who was there for it all. Written by Steve
Turner, lead guitarist of Mudhoney, a foundational grunge band that
inspired musical icons from Kurt Cobain to Sonic Youth, Mud Ride
features a foreword by Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard and
never-before-seen photographs and grunge memorabilia throughout.
Take a seat and ride through the messy and muddy grunge scene that
grew from the basements of the Northwest and went on to circle the
globe.
