Nirvana - Bleach (Grunge, 1989)

"Everything sucks. There's too many people on this planet, and way too many bands..."

There was little or no sign that the makers of this respectable Sub Pop seller would a few years later spawn the multi-million seller Nevermind. Released June 1989 to a handful of on-the-pulse listeners, Bleach exceeded expectations simply by contained several strong and surprisingly catchy songs. As a blunt and unashamed grunge record of the Sub Pop era, Bleach reeks of sweat and hard graft. No different from the rest of the late-1980s grunge back catalogue the jump from Bleach to Nevermind is simply astoundingly. Bleach is at times uneasy listening and definitely not tailored for the mass-market consumption. It cost the band $600 from their own pockets to produce this and now is to many a cult favourite. Future Melvins drummer - and a dear friend to Kurt Cobain - Dale Clover plays drums here at some tracks.
