Rest in Peace Steve Albini
Steve Albini, legendary audio engineer and musician, tragically passed away on May 7th, 2024. Needless to say this was pretty shocking news for many. This man was incredibly influential in the world of independent rock music. He engineered (produced) countless albums throughout his career, as well as fronted bands such as Big Black and Shellac. So today, I'm doing somewhat of a tribute video in Steve's honor, going over a number of important albums he engineered/recorded and talking about his own music.

Rivers Cuomo: The King of Awkward Interviews
Просмотров 6 тыс.2 месяца назад
It's no secret that Rivers Cuomo is a pretty awkward guy. This general awkwardness has always been on full display with his band Weezer. As Rivers has gotten older, it seems he's become more comfortable in his skin. But back in the 90s when Weezer first took off, this was definitely not the case. So today, we're gonna dive into some old school Rivers Cuomo interviews that are gloriously awkward...
What if Dave Grohl Never Joined Nirvana?
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.2 месяца назад
When Dave Grohl joined Nirvana back in 1990, the band's sound was instantly brought to the next level. While Chad Channing was a good drummer, Kurt had a sound in his head that Chad could simply never bring to life. The band's 1991 breakthrough album Nevermind, along with 1993's In Utero, greatly benefited from Dave Grohl's presence. His significance in the evolution of Nirvana's sound cannot b...
What if Layne Staley Didn't Die in 2002?

In April 2002, we lost Layne Staley. Legendary frontman of Alice in Chains and Mad Season. As sad as his death was and is, no one was shocked to hear the news. Layne struggled with addiction throughout most of his adult life. By the end, he was sadly a shell of his former self. The drugs robbed Layne of his energy, his creativity and ultimately his life. This begs the question, what if Layne St...
Is Kurt Cobain Actually Rivers Cuomo?

The WORST Post-Grunge Bands of All Time
Просмотров 2,5 тыс.4 месяца назад
These days, most look back on Post-Grunge with a sense of regret. The biggest bands associated with the label such as Nickelback and Creed have become internet punching bags. However, Post-Grunge dominated rock radio for years from the late 90s up until the mid 2000s. Many of these bands even crossed over to the mainstream pop charts. The subgenre was simply massive and unavoidable. Being an of...
The Last Show Nirvana Ever Played
Просмотров 2,4 тыс.4 месяца назад
On March 1st, 1994, Nirvana played their final show at Terminal 1 in Munich, Germany. At the time, there was nothing noteworthy about this performance. Aside from some technical issues and illness, it was a very standard show for Nirvana. But in hindsight, there's a lot that stands out. Most prominently a joke Krist made between songs that foreshadowed the future with creepy accuracy. By the ti...
The Rise & Fall of Days of the New

Days of the New became an overnight rock sensation back in the late 90s. Their 1997 debut spawned the massive radio hit "Touch, Peel and Stand." This is the song that put the band on the map. It was inescapable at the time and still is today (if you listen to the radio anymore, that is). The principal force behind Days of the New was Travis Meeks, a gifted songwriter and musician that hit it bi...
How OK Computer Almost Destroyed Radiohead

One of England's most significant rock bands, Radiohead, burst onto the scene in 1993. Their debut album Pablo Honey spawned the massive single "Creep," which is still widely beloved to this day. Radiohead's sophomore album The Bends, released in March, 1995, was a clear step-up from Pablo Honey. Seeing the band stray from the typical "alt-rock" sound and entering new creative territory, while ...

Joy Division's Incredibly Dark Final Song

Joy Division is a hugely influential band, known for essentially creating the "Post-punk" movement that started in the late 70s. While they only existed for around 4 years, the impact the band had is still felt today. 1979's "Unknown Pleasures" and 1980's "Closer" are staples of Post-punk and rock music at large. While Joy Division's music has been endlessly praised, their contributions to musi...

With his condition continuing to deteriorate, it was incredibly hard for the band...

    I was at this show. We were in the seats on the ground floor at the very back, so it was hard to see or get a real sense of what was going on. From what Billy was saying though, we knew something was terribly wrong. Afterwards, the walk back into Dubin city centre was surreal, nobody spoke. The whole thing was a horrible experience. RIP Bernadatte O'Brien.

    The problem with a guy like Travis is that, despite his musical talent and need for self-expression, it is probably in his best interest if he avoids ever partaking in touring or general music industry stuff again. His mental health and addiction issues are simply too delicate. The best he could hope for is writing and recording music on his own and just releasing it the way many "bedroom" musicians in the post-pandemic era do.

    There were also some pretty good bands that I wouldn't necessarily describe as 'post-grunge' but rather 'non-Seattle grunge' like Nudeswirl from New Jersey, Paw from Kansas and Greta from LA among others. You could also put Stone Temple Pilots in this grouping as well.
