Dust

*Dust* is the seventh studio album by American grunge band Screaming Trees. The album was released on Epic Records in 1996, four years after the release of the band's previous studio album, *Sweet Oblivion*. It is notable for taking a turn for more alternative ground and steering away from the more psychedelic sounds of the band's previous studio efforts. Along with *Sweet Oblivion*, the album is considered to be one of the best albums released by Screaming Trees. Soon after the release of this album and the touring behind it, Screaming Trees went on a hiatus for four years and completely disbanded in 2000.

## History

In 1995, Screaming Trees began working on a follow up to their sixth album, Sweet Oblivion. The band hired producer George Drakoulias, who had worked with The Jayhawks and The Black Crowes.

## Reception

Reception for the album was generally positive. *Dust* is considered by fans to be one of the band's finest albums. On Allmusic, Critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine statest *Dust* was Screaming Trees' "strongest album" and compared the album's rougher sound to the band's previous psychedelic sound: "Sure, the rough edges that fueled albums like *Uncle Anesthesia* are gone, but in its place is a rustic hard rock, equally informed by heavy metal and folk." *Dust* peaked at 134 on the UK Albums Chart.

Due to the release of *Dust* and *Sweet Oblivion*, Screaming Trees are widely considered to be an essential grunge band. *Dust* is also considered by many fans to be one of the last "true" grunge albums released in the grunge scene, which ended soon after Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's death.

## Trivia

* Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready provides the guitar solo on the track, "Dying Days."
* Josh Homme of stoner rock bands Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age toured with the band during the promotion of this album as a touring rhythm guitarist.
* *Dust* is the third album by Screaming Trees to be released on Epic Records.
* Benmont Tench of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers played several instruments for the album.

The "Big Four of Grunge" are the four most prominent and influential grunge bands of the late 1980s and early 1990s grunge scene. They are generally considered to be Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden These four bands were most active during the early-to-mid 1990s, and released several of the most iconic grunge albums in the scene. This includes Nirvana's Nevermind and In Utero, Pearl Jam's Ten, Vs., and Vitalogy, Alice in Chains' Facelift, Dirt and EP Jar of Flies, and Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger and Superunknown.

## History

### Emergings of "Grunge" (1984-1990)

The first of the Big Four bands to form was Soundgarden in 1984, by Chris Cornell, Kim Thayil and Hiro Yamamoto. Originally, Cornell and Yamamoto were part of a band called the "Shemps" which replaced Yamamoto with Thayil. However, the Shemps soon broke up and Cornell, Thayil and Yamamoto began jamming and formed Soundgarden1. Soundgarden would go on to release several recordings on a compilation album entitled *Deep Six* which also featured grunge pioneers Green River and Malfunkshun2.

Cornell's roomate, Andrew Wood would form several bands, most notably Malfunkshun in 1980, which would actively perform for 8 years. After Malfunkshun's break up, Wood began jamming with Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament, members of the recently dissolved band Green River, and would eventually form band Mother Love Bone. After the devastating death of Wood in 19903 , Gossard and Ament began writing material and jamming with guitarist Mike McCready, which would eventually go on to become Pearl Jam. Their demos made it into the hands of Eddie Vedder, vocalist of Bad Radio, who immediately began recording lyrics over the demos. He sent them back to the proto-Pearl Jam and became a member within a week due to his stunning audition4. Originally, Pearl Jam was called "Mookie Baylock"5 after their favourite basketball player, however were forced to rename themselves when they signed to Epic Records. The name of their debut album, *Ten*, is a reference to Baylock's jersey number.

### Mainstream Breakout (1991-1994)

There was some rivalry between the bands, especially between Nirvana and Pearl Jam.

### Post Grunge (1995-Present)

As of March 2023, the only remaining active bands of the Big Four are Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains.

Pearl Jam retains its mostly original lineup with Eddie Vedder, Mike McCready, Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament and Matt Cameron performing together since 1998. The band, while having varying breaks in between albums, has never gone on hiatus and has not suffered any major deaths unlike the others of the Big Four.

Alice in Chains features Jerry Cantrell, Sean Kinney, Mike Inez and William DuVall, the former 3 performing together since 2005 and with DuVall joining them in 2006. Following Layne Staley's death in 2002, the band went on an indefinite hiatus, however reunited in 2005 for a benefit concert for the victims of a natural disaster in Southern Asia in 2004.

Screaming Trees were an American rock band formed in Ellensburg, Washington in 1985 by vocalist Mark Lanegan, guitarist Gary Lee Conner, bass player Van Conner and drummer Mark Pickerel. Pickerel had been replaced by Barrett Martin by the time the band reached its most successful period. Although widely associated with grunge, the band's sound incorporated hard rock and psychedelic elements. During Screaming Trees' existence the band released seven studio albums, five EPs, and three compilations.

Screaming Trees is known as one of the "Godfathers of Grunge" along with the Melvins, Mudhoney, U-Men, Skin Yard, Soundgarden, Green River, and Malfunkshun.

As he regains consciousness, Phil is terrified that he can't remember getting to the cemetery. Martha offers to take him home, but stops at the hospital along the way to check on Max.

## Music and Lyrics

"Polly" is an acoustic rock song sung in a mellow manner by Kurt Cobain with backing vocals by Krist Novoselic and cymbals played by ex-drummer of the band Chad Channing. The lyrics center around the true story of a 14-year-old girl who was raped by the infamous serial rapist Gerald Friend, who tied her upside-down and tortured her with a blowtorch. Kurt Cobain read about the incident in 1987. Ironically, the song is sung from Gerald's perspective, and Cobain added a story element in which the girl fooled the rapist into thinking she was having fun, allowing her to escape once Gerald Friend let his guard down.

## Reception

"Polly" was ranked number 29 on Rolling Stone's list of the top 102 Nirvana songs, and number 18 on NME's list of Top 20 Nirvana Songs. However, the song is also considered to be one of the weaker tracks on *Nevermind*.

Fecal Matter

Fecal Matter was a very short-lived punk band from Aberdeen Washignton that only released one demo tape, *Illiteracy Will Prevail*, which is a rarity sought after by many collectors. The band was formed by Kurt Cobain, who was notable for forming Nirvana, and Dale Crover from the influential-to-grunge band Melvins.

## History

In 1985, Aberdeen high school drop-out Kurt Cobain formed one of many "joke bands," this being Fecal Matter. The band was formed by Cobain, Dale Crover, and Greg Hokanson on drums. The group spent months writing new material and covering songs from Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, and Ramones. Cobain and Crover recorded their demo Illiteracy Will Prevail on a 4-track recorder at Kurt's aunt's house in Burien. Debated to have been recorded etween 1985 and 1986, the demo featured 13 songs. Crover was not impressed with the tape, but Melvins frontman Buzz Osbourne (who later joined the band with former Melvins drummer Mike Dillard) stated there was a "certain magic" in it. This line-up did not last long due to Cobian's frustration in Osbourne for failing to buy a bass amplifier. They played one show on May 3, 1986 in Olympia under the name "Brown Towel." The band broke up the same year.

After the break-up, Cobain continued passing around demo tapes to his friends. One reached his friend Krist Novoselic, who later joined Cobain in forming the band Nirvana.

Fopp

***Fopp*** is the second EP by American grunge band Soundgarden. It was recorded and released in 1988, and is notably shorter than many Soundgarden releases.

## Music

The album is made up of two covers, one mix, and one original song. The album's title is taken off of the first track, Fopp. Fopp is a cover of an Ohio Players song. Kim Thayil stated "We thought we could take the song and make it AC/DC or something. We'd take the power chords, turn up the volume and make it heavy. "Fopp" is a good song that needed to be given its due as a 'kick-ass rock song!'" The next track is a six minute long remix of the song. The third track, "Kingdom of Come," is an original song written by Chris Cornell. The final track, "Swallow My Pride," is a cover of a Green River song.

## Release and Reception

The album received mixed reviews. Fred Thomas of Allmusic wrote about Fopp, stating, "An overly ironic and unfunny original tune lambasting the still-incubating Sub Pop scene, a Green River cover, and two mixes of an ill-fitting Ohio Players cover make Fopp even more fans-only fodder than the at times foreshadowing but ultimately mediocre fare of Screaming Life." According to Cornell, the album sold fairly well, but there were those who did not like the album.
Temple of the Dog

* Jeff Ament
* Matt Cameron
* Stone Gossard

*The following article has been taken from Wikipedia's "Temple of the Dog" article. You can view the original article here.*

Temple of the Dog was an American rock supergroup that formed in Seattle, Washington in 1990. It was conceived by vocalist Chris Cornell of Soundgarden as a tribute to his friend, the late Andrew Wood, lead singer of the bands Malfunkshun and Mother Love Bone. The lineup included Stone Gossard on rhythm guitar, Jeff Ament on bass guitar (both ex-members of Mother Love Bone), Mike McCready on lead guitar, and Matt Cameron on drums. Eddie Vedder appeared as a guest to provide some lead and backing vocals.

The band released its only album, the self-titled *Temple of the Dog*, in April 1991 through A&M Records. The recording sessions took place in November and December 1990 at London Bridge Studios, in Seattle, Washington with producer Rakesh "Rick" Parashar. Although earning praise from music critics at the time of its release, the album was not widely recognized until 1992, when Vedder, Ament, Gossard, and McCready had their breakthrough with Pearl Jam.

The band toured in 2016 in celebration of the 25th anniversary of their self-titled album.

In 'n' Out of Grace

"In 'n' Out of Grace" is a grunge song by American grunge/garage rock band Mudhoney. It is the final track of six tracks on the album Superfuzz Bigmuff, and is the ninth track on *Superfuzz Bigmuff Plus Early Singles*.

## Writing

Mark Arm mentioned in an interview: "The main riff of that came from Matt. And then either Steve or I - I'm not sure who - floated the idea of throwing in a bass and drum break, with a crazy double guitar solo, like something off the first Blue Cheer record." The track uses a sample fro the 1996 film, *The Wild Angels*. The sample carries Peter Fonda speaking a eulogy, "We wanna be free to do what we wanna do."

## Lyrics

The lyrics have religious undertones, screaming for Christ to take the singer to a higher place, even though the singer also sings from a fleshly perspective, craving "body and blood." The line "Falling in and out of grace" appears twice out of four lines in each verse.

Illiteracy Will Prevail

**Recorded Date and Place** | December 1985 (Azzerad)

Illiteracy Will Prevail is a rare demo tape by the short lived punk band, Fecal Matter. It was released in 1985. It is the only release of the band, and is sought by bootleggers and collectors. Much of the album's fame revolves around the fact it is Kurt Cobain's project before friend Krist Novoselic joined him to form Nirvana.

## History

At the time of recording, Fecal Matter was only made up of Cobain and Dale Crover. Kurt handled the vocals and guitars while Crover was the drummer/bassist. The album was recorded on a 4-Track recorder. Kurt Cobain passed copies of his demo tape to his friends. He had hoped to start a band, and he asked his friend Novoselic to join up with him. Over the years, many copies of the album disappeared. One of the only known persons to have a copy is Courtney Love.

In 2006, one version of the album was leaked on Myspace by three people. However, it was incomplete and was in very poor quality. However, three songs from the album confirmed by past owners to be legit were leaked a week later. They were the first three songs on the album.

In 2015, the same people who 7uploaded the three songs on Myspace uploaded the album in its entirety in 2015 on YouTube, as well as on both lossless and mp3 format. This album has been confirmed to be real.

## Legacy

The album is sought after by many bootleggers and collectors. There are many false versions of the album. Courtney Love has a legit copy, and fans wish she would distribute it.

## Album Credits

* Kurt Cobain – vocals, guitars (1985–1986)
* Dale Crover – bass guitar, drums (1985–1986)
* Greg Hokanson – drums (1985–1986)

Sparkle and Fade

***Sparkle and Fade*** is the second album by Everclear, released on May 23, 1995. It was their first album to be released exclusively on Capitol Records; their previous effort, World of Noise, was re-released on Capitol after its introduction through the Portland, Oregon based label, Tim/Kerr Records. The album produced the singles "Heroin Girl," "Santa Monica," "Heartspark Dollarsign" and "You Make Me Feel Like a Whore". Ostensibly, the album's music follows themes like addiction and romance through a loosely defined narrative similar to Art Alexakis' own troubled life when he was in his twenties.

The album's cover features childhood pictures of the three members of the band. It is Everclear's third-best-selling album to date. It climbed to the top of the Heatseekers Chart in January 1996 and was certified Platinum by the RIAA in May 1996.

In 2016 independent vinyl reissue label Intervention Records reissued Sparkle & Fade on 180-gram vinyl.

Skin Yard (album)

***Skin Yard*** is the self-titled debut album of the American grunge band, Skin Yard. It was originally released on Daniel House's C/Z Records, and is the only album of Skin Yard to feature drummer Matt Cameron as a full-time drummer. 1400 copies were released on translucent vinyl colored like skin (possibly to represent the name).

It was released on January of 1987. In 1990, C/Z Records reissued the album with new tracks. "Burning the Candle" was left off of reissues and is now considered lost. However, in January 2014, Ben McMillan's official Facebook page played a poor-quality video of what's possibly the lost track. The reissue also has some alternate versions of tracks, including a 5 minute version of "Skins in My Closet." The reissue also carries two tracks with Jason Finn as a drummer instead of Matt Cameron. It also includes a live cover of David Bowie's "She Shook Me Cold."

The album saw another reissue on Cruz Records with only ten tracks. A reissue has not seen light since 1992.

## Reception

The album has met with mixed reception. Music review website Allmusic gives the album 2.5/5 stars.

Silverchair

* Ben Gillies

*The following article has been taken from Wikipedia's "Silverchair" article. You can view the original article here.*

Silverchair were an Australian rock band, which formed in 1992 as Innocent Criminals in Merewether, Newcastle with the line-up of Ben Gillies on drums, Daniel Johns on vocals and guitars, and Chris Joannou on bass guitar. The group got their big break in mid-1994 when they won a national demo competition conducted by SBS TV show Nomad and ABC radio station, Triple J. The band was signed by Murmur, and were successful on the Australian and international rock stages.

During their career, Silverchair won more ARIA Music Awards than any other artist in history with 21 wins from 49 nominations. The band have also received six APRA Awards with Johns winning three songwriting awards at the 2008 ceremony. All five of their studio albums have debuted at number-one on the ARIA Albums Chart: *Frogstomp* (1995), *Freak Show* (1997), *Neon Ballroom* (1999), *Diorama* (2002) and *Young Modern* (2007). Three of the group's singles have reached number-one on the related ARIA Singles Chart: "Tomorrow" (1994), "Freak" (1997) and "Straight Lines" (2007).

Silverchair's alternative rock sound had evolved throughout their career, differing styles on specific albums steadily growing more ambitious over the years, from grunge on their debut to more recent work displaying orchestral and art rock influences. The songwriting and singing of Johns had evolved steadily while the band had developed an increased element of complexity. In 2003, following the release of *Diorama*, the band announced a hiatus, during which time members recorded with side projects The Dissociatives, The Mess Hall, and Tambalane. Silverchair were reunited at the 2005 Wave Aid concerts. In 2007, they released their fifth album, *Young Modern*, and played the Across the Great Divide tour with contemporaries Powderfinger. In May of 2011, Silverchair announced an indefinite hiatus. As of January 2018, Silverchair have sold 9 million albums worldwide.
