Is Eddie Vedder the only lead singer still alive from the foundational American grunge bands?
It's like heroin was a requirement in the nineties. And I bought into the whole "heroin chic" style so I can't even judge
I was thinking about #grunge and it was relatively shirt-lived as a genre/style. And I think the reason for that is because grunge doesn't really have any unique defining features.
It's a little bit of this and that. It has a distinct style, but as soon as you move away from that style, embellishing, the music would probably very much likely become something else.
Anyway, that's what I was thinking about.

careful: loud
I accidentally found this #Canadian band Peacewalk months ago and I listened to their album "Back to Rome!" like a billion times one week. Its that good.
These guys remind me of like if #AtTheDriveIn #Thursday and #TheStrokes had a groovy, musically adventurous #postpunk #grunge baby
That's about the best I can do, they're all over
Anyway, put down the Judas Priest and listen to #Peacewalk.
The whole album is solid from start to finish, not a single skip on my end but here are a few.

Blood Vulture – Die Close Review
By Saunders
Corpse-painted host and comedian of metal show Two Minutes to Late Night, Jordan Olds (aka Gwarsenio Hall), spearheaded some nifty entertainment during the height of the pandemic. Snapping up the limited release digital covers EPs during Bandcamp Fridays allowed me to net some cool stuff. Olds and a host of musicians, including Chelsea Wolfe and members of Dillinger Escape Plan, Mastodon, Mutoid Man, Royal Thunder, and Baroness amongst others, put their wacky spin on a variety of metal anthems and other classic tunes. Olds demonstrated his own impressive musical talents with axe and mic. Keen to substitute his comedic background for a darker, decidedly more serious musical quest, Olds unleashes his Blood Vulture project, crafting a curious debut album entitled Die Close. Boasting a doomy, gloomy, though deceptively versatile and hard-hitting opus, can Blood Vulture muster up the chops and songwriting substance to match the style and impressive musicianship? Die Close features an intriguing melting pot of styles and influences. Doom forms the beating heart of the beast, complimented by elements of sludge, ’90s grunge/alt rock, moody, scarlet dappled Goth, and a touch of camp. Influences are worn proudly on sleeves. Channeling the raw heft of Crowbar, somber hues of contemporary doom heavyweights Khemmis and Pallbearer, along with the addictive harmonies of Alice In Chains, there is nary a dull moment. Blood Vulture boast the songwriting sparks to rise above derivation. Temptation to load up his debut with a convoluted cast of musical guests and friends would have been high. On this front, star power features, but is not overdone, including contributions from Jade Puget (AFI), Shadows Fall frontman Brian Fall, and Kristin Hayter (Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter, Lingua Ignota). Meanwhile, Stephen Brodsky (Cave In, Mutoid Man) and friends lend vocal harmonies on the excellent “Die Close: Finale,” a brooding, grungy, and uplifting closer. Outside of these carefully curated guest spots, by all accounts Olds handles tasks single-handedly, including vocals, guitars, bass, and synths, aided by drummer Moe Watson. Following a shortish, mood-setting opener, Die Close kicks in proper via the leaden sludge-doom riffage and infectious Jerry Cantrell-esque vocal hooks on “An Embrace in the Flood.” The song’s straightforward building blocks deftly shift through surprising turns, including a brief barrage of blast beats and cascading solo, coupled with gorgeous vocal harmonies. A powerful melodic current flows through the album, exemplified through Old’s versatile clean vox, array of elegant solos, and mood-driven, shadowy synths. However, the melodic elements are powerfully counterpunched by a foundation of meaty doom and sludge riffs, lending the album its heavier, weighty edge. Substantial heft dominates the riff palette, heavily featured on cuts such as the gritty crunch of “Grey Mourning,” and the storming throes of “Abomination.” Blood Vulture’s versatility and knack for infectious songcraft shine. Swathed in dreamy atmospheres and built upon a sturdy foundation of grinding riffs, “Entwined” features a wonderful dual vocal performance from Olds and Hayter, the latter’s dramatic, ghostly presence a highlight.For all its notable strengths, gripping guitar work, and towering hooks, Die Close has a few hiccups expected from a debut album. The two shorter introductory and interlude pieces are decent enough, yet ultimately disposable, while the stronger moments and soaring melodies on the Gothy melodrama of “A Dream About Starving to Death” are tripped up by some overly goofy lyrical and vocal turns. Nevertheless, outside of these minor sore spots, Die Close is consistently entertaining and occasionally gripping at its potent best. Olds still displays some tongue-in-cheek humor and horror shtick, also reflected in the accompanying music videos, though overall, Die Close is a dark and brooding album. Expectedly, Olds is the star of the show, defined by his excellent guitar work and standout vocals. Vocally, Olds shifts between several modes, showcasing solid range, character, and emotional depth.
Blood Vulture came from nowhere, unleashing a fresh, emotive and punchy blast of doomy heft, blockbuster hooks and haunting harmonies. Bolstered by stellar performances and addictive songwriting, where the album’s earwormy hooks and stronger material showcase Olds as a serious artist on the rise, Die Close signals an assured and confident debut. A few kinks aside, Die Close is a hugely enjoyable album that’s well worth a listen and should cement Blood Vulture as an exciting new voice in the doomsphere.

This is my absolute favorite Mudhoney album. It was the first one that I heard as a kid, and it was love at first listen.
34 years later, I still listen to it REGULARLY.
THIS edition of it is fantastic. An excellent sounding remaster of the album, plus a whole other record of killer demos, b-sides, and collected singles, including one of my favorite Mudhoney songs, “Overblown”, which I originally heard on the soundtrack to the movie SINGLES.
GRUNGE-TASTIC!

Musical Interlude: While on our little field trip, the boss and I started talking about interesting cover versions of popular songs (our conversation strays alllll over the place) and I played this for him. He was amused...it takes an ultra-famous song from the 90s and interprets it in an entirely new way....and it works, astonishingly well.
"Oelle como espiritu adolescente (Smells Like Teen Spirit)," performed by the Mandragora Tango Orchestra.

SETTING:
A support group for addicts of the #90s #grunge and #alternative era.
After putting it off for years, a lowly primate finally realizes he needs help.
“Hello, everybody. My name is Ape.”
- “Hi, Ape!”
“I’m here today because I am addicted to Stone Temple Pilots. I’ve never really got over Weiland, the greatest showman and frontman of that entire decade… Dean’s awesome licks…”
- “Go on, Ape. It’s ok. You’re safe here.”
“The albums. The b-sides. All the bootlegs. You name it, I’ve done it. I even bought that outtakes collection from the Purple era with their awesome Led Zeppelin cover on it. I feel powerless. But after I take my hits of STP, I have all the power in the world…”
- “Hang in there, Ape. It gets better. It WILL get better.”
“No. You don’t understand. It won’t. Ever.”
