Green River

Green River was an American alternative rock band formed in Seattle, Washington in 1984 by vocalist/guitarist Mark Arm, guitarist Steve Turner, drummer Alex Vincent and bassist Jeff Ament. Although the band had very little commercial impact outside their native Seattle, Green River were pioneers of the grunge music genre. The group disbanded in the late 80's where two of its members Mark Arm and Steve Turner became members of Mudhoney and Jeff Ament later joining Pearl Jam. Green River reunited for several live shows in 2008 and 2009.

Peel seemed to have discovered the band in early 1989 after the group had already split. He would play tracks from them via the Sub Pop 200 compilation album as well as their old EP and album in the spring and summer of 1989.
