More about the book
In 1992, Nirvana's anthem "Smells Like Teen Spirit" catapulted the band from obscurity to international fame, introducing a new underground sound to mainstream music. However, this success quickly turned into dissatisfaction as the trio grappled with their unexpected popularity and a fanbase that contradicted their rebellious ethos. The band's journey transformed the rock music landscape globally, but it also led to the struggles of their troubled lead singer. In this insightful account, the authors draw from extensive sources, including personal interviews with Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, and Dave Grohl, to chronicle Nirvana's rise and the challenges that followed. Readers gain a front-row perspective on the musical influences shaping Nirvana's iconic sound, the stories behind their albums, and the ideas fueling their lyrics. Additionally, the work features a comprehensive discography and an A-Z listing of every officially released Nirvana song. Kurt St. Thomas and Troy Smith, an award-winning programming duo from WFNX-FM in Boston, crafted this definitive exploration of the band. They also produced the notable interview compact disc, Nevermind, It's an Interview, along with other interview CDs for various artists. St. Thomas resides in New York City, while Smith lives on Cape Cod, MA.
