so you were right there when it all blew up.

My older brother Patrick (rip) had 11 years on me, and he was the one who turned me on to Nirvana. When I was twelve I had siamese dream, Nevermind, few other albums. By the time I was 13(94) I was a full-blown "grunge kid" . Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, STP, Alice in Chains, Smashing Pumpkins were all huge at that time. I was also a big NIN fan. Then I guess around late 95 this cat Jason introduced me to the oldschool California punk scene, killing my grunge phase.


But i've since gone back to the 90's stuff. That was an awesome time to be a kid and into rock music. Mainstream or not, those were/are amazing fucking bands.

(and no shit, the hot topics here in Anchorage ran all the old hole-in-the-wall punk fashion places into the ground. They have some ok shirts I suppose, but everything else is just junk.)
