But it was the unexpected, seemingly overnight  success of Nirvana's single 'Smells Like Teen Spirit,' in the fall of  1991, that made grunge a household word and launched an American music  movement on par with punk and hip-hop.  20 years later, Mark Yarm captures that era in the words of those at the forefront of the movement (and the music's lesser-known champions). Everybody Loves Our Town will  tell the whole story: the founding of originators like Soundgarden and  the Melvins, the early successes of Seattle's Sub Pop record label, the  rise of powerhouses Nirvana and Pearl Jam, the insane media hype  surrounding the grunge explosion, the suicide of Kurt Cobain, and  finally, the genre's mid-to-late-'90s decline.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49511588200721,"sku":"GOR003392760","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50137888293137,"sku":"GOR005834889","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50582073606417,"sku":"GOR010350178","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53017201869073,"sku":"GOR006333281","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0571249868.jpg?v=1772273681"},{"product_id":"everybody-loves-our-town-book-mark-yarm-9780571249879","title":"Everybody Loves Our Town","description":"Grunge, also known as the 'Seattle Sound', emerged from the Pacific north-west in the early part of the 1980s.

Though it sold miserably, the record made music history by documenting a burgeoning regional sound, the raw fusion of heavy metal and punk rock that we now know as grunge.

The book tells the whole story: from the founding of the \u003ci\u003eDeep Six\u003c\/i\u003e bands to the worldwide success of grunge's big four (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains); from the rise of Seattle's cash-poor, hype-rich indie label Sub Pop to the major-label feeding frenzy that overtook the Pacific Northwest; from the simple joys of making noise at basement parties and tiny rock clubs to the tragic, lonely deaths of superstars Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawn from more than 250 new interviews--with members of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Screaming Trees, Hole, Melvins, Mudhoney, Green River, Mother Love Bone, Temple of the Dog, Mad Season, L7, Babes in Toyland, 7 Year Bitch, TAD, the U-Men, Candlebox and many more--and featuring previously untold stories and never-before-published photographs, \u003ci\u003eEverybody Loves Our Town\u003c\/i\u003e is at once a moving, funny, lurid, and hugely insightful portrait of an extraordinary musical era.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49700507549969,"sku":"CIN030746444XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50159367422225,"sku":"CIN030746444XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51000749359377,"sku":"NIN9780307464446","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/030746444X.jpg?v=1750695635"},{"product_id":"everybody-loves-our-town-book-mark-yarm-9780307464439","title":"Everybody Loves Our Town","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50640521068817,"sku":"CIN0307464431VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50784176505105,"sku":"CIN0307464431G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":51322586857745,"sku":"CIN0307464431A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0307464431.jpg?v=1750940957"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-mark-yarm.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
