The grunge movement of the nineties captured the tide of disillusionment that was sweeping over an entire generation.
Foremost in the scene were Nirvana, who almost single-handedly brought grunge into the popular consciousness with their seminal album 'Nevermind'. From their underground roots in the Pacific Northwest, the groups achieved world fame and Cobain had the mantle of "spokesman for a generation" thrust upon him.
This was, arguably, the last era of great rock music, and it is shrouded in stories and rumours. Everett True, the man who introduced Kurt to Courtney and brought grunge to the outside world, knows what it was really like to be there.
This book is neither a conventional rock history, nor a grand sociological overview, it is the real thing - an inspired insider's account of the grunge scene from a writer who is friends to many of the artists involved. Featuring rare photographs and exclusive interviews, True takes us on a rollercoaster ride through the lives, the music, the personalities, the legends and the laughs.
