Add your own review!

Overview

After Nirvana, everything changed. Kurt Cobain and his band ushered in a new era in music, bringing the authenticity of US underground punk to mainstream rock audiences. Award-winning biographer and music critic Marc Burrows dives into the world of Nirvana, providing an exhaustive day-by-day account of the lifespan of the band, from their early days touring the dive bars of the Pacific North-West through the release of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' and Nevermind, the dark masterpiece of In Utero and Kurt Cobain's tragic death in 1994. The timeline is augmented by hyper-detailed footnotes, diving deep into the songs and albums, the impact and the fascinating unexplored corners of one of the most exciting and impactful bands that have ever been. AUTHOR: Marc Burrows is an author, journalist and comedian based in London, UK. He writes about culture and social issues for many publications, including New Statesman, Big Issue, Independent, Guardian and Observer, plays in the cult punk bands The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing and Before Victoria, and dabbles in stand-up comedy. His first biography, The Magic of Terry Pratchett, won the 2021 Locus Award for non-fiction, and his second, The London Boys, a social history of sixties youth culture told through the early careers of David Bowie and Marc Bolan, was released to rave reviews in 2022. He is extremely busy and often very tired. 32 colour illustrations
