- The year was 1993. It was September and the school year had just started. Unless you were a pre-teener, chances are you were finishing high school or starting college (if you were friends with us). You were disenfranchised, angry, frustrated; the culture of complaint sweeping the zeitgeist was hitting your sweet spot and you were   pissed . Stoned, living in your parents basement or the shithole you were renting in your first year, you channeled your angst through smoking cheap weed resin and blaring  Nirvana ‘s latest album,  In Utero , which had hit stores just a few short days earlier. Thinking to yourself, “God, these  Albini  (produced) drums are fucking  sick ,” you passed the time thumbing through the liner notes trying to make sense of the mouthful-of-marbles lyrics to “ Radio Friendly Unit Shifter ” which you played on repeat. - Cranking up “Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle” to switch it up and being awed by the bass and the w...

- The   Nirvana   singer, guitarist and songwriter died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in April of 1994 at the age of 27. During his lifetime, Cobain spearheaded an international phenomenon, becoming not only the most visible representative of Seattle’s grunge scene but also an icon for a whole generation of disenfranchised youth. He was the antithesis of all the rock gods who came before him, a star who seemed to loathe his own fame while serving as a vocal proponent for feminism and gay rights as well as old-school punk authenticity. - In honor of a legacy that has grown even stronger since his passing, here are 12 quotes from Cobain that encompass his wisdom and beliefs. “Most of the music is really personal as far as the emotion and the experiences that I’ve had in my life, but most of the  themes  in the songs aren’t that personal. They’re more just stories from TV or books or movies or friends. But definitely the emotion and feeling is from me.” – Rol...

- The presenter met the leader of Nirvana and accompanied him during the Hollywood Rock festival in 1993 In 1993, the Hollywood Rock festival was in charge of landing three of the greatest bands in rock history in Brazil in three days of the event; In addition to having Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Alice in Chains, the organization knew how to take advantage of the rise of the grunge movement in the world and bring, in an unprecedented way, the greatest exponent of that period. - Nirvana landed in the country to play on the stage of the Morumbi Stadium, in São Paulo, on the night of January 16 of that year. With sold-out tickets, numbering more than 110,000 people, it would be the largest presentation in terms of audience and structure for the band, with a cigarette brand sponsoring the event and stamping its name. Who did not know of this last fact, however, was the main singer of the band, Kurt Cobain, who arrived to the lands of Tupiniquim quietly with his wife Courtney Love...

- The news of   Mark Lanegan’s death   broke early this afternoon, and it’s already sending shockwaves across the rock landscape. The former   Screaming Trees   frontman was a towering figure in the history of grunge. Starting in 1986 with their LP   Clairvoyance , Lanegan and his bandmates set the stage for Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and so much music that followed in their wake. The Nineties would have unfolded in imaginably different ways without his influence. - For a tiny bit of proof, check out this rendition of “Where Did You Sleep Last Night” from Lanegan’s 1990 solo debut  The Winding Sheet . If that electric guitar and voice in the background sound familiar to you, that’s because it’s Kurt Cobain. Krist Novoselic is on bass, with Screaming Trees’ Mark Pickerel on drums. The recording session took place shortly after Nirvana wrapped their 1989  Bleach  tour. Cobain spent days at a time chilling with Lanegan in Olympia, Was...

- There are few music videos that have helped out the artist and their song more so than Nirvana who were jet-propelled into stardom by the video for ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’.   On constant rotation   during pretty much all the years MTV actually showed music videos, the clip was the distillation of America’s growing grunge movement and it left Nirvana paddling in the mainstream. - Then, it offered an exciting and captivating watch, today, the video acts as a meta moment for Generation X. Though invigorated by the independence of anti-establishment rhetoric, underpinned by the sneering expectations of a modernising world and buzzing with authenticity, ultimately the video is now just another reminder of the commercialisation that tore the scene limb from limb. Shot at Culver City Studios on August 17th, 1991, the video saw the band performing in a disused gym while the surrounding student body becomes more and more enraged before finally bursting into a fit of punitive d...

- Courtney Love, the widow of iconic Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, named a list of her favourite songs ever created by the grunge pioneers. The Hole frontwoman, who first met Cobain at Portland’s Satyricon nightclub in January 1990, was married for two years after getting wed on Waikiki Beach in Hawaii in 1992. - Their relationship was fast and furious, built around intense creativity and heavy touring amid major commercial success through both bands. While reflection on her career and life as part of an Instagram live Q&A, Love was drawn into a conversation about some of her favoured Nirvana tracks for the first time. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Love picked out ‘Heart Shaped Box’ taken from 1993 album  In Utero , a track which she attempted to get her hands on while she heard Cobain writing the riff. “We had this huge closet,” she recalled in an interview with Rolling Stone in 1994. “And I heard him in there working on Heart-Shaped Box. He d...
