News The Rough Guide to Nirvana: Press release
THE ROUGH GUIDE TO NIRVANAJune 15, 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Bleach, an album that unknowingly would launch three young Seattleites into international fame. Even 15 years after Kurt Cobain’s death, Nirvana continues to maintain and grow a devoted fan base. The Rough Guide to Nirvana tells the story of this extraordinary, all too short-lived group, from Krist Novoselic’s early influences, to the last days of Kurt Cobain and the rise of Dave Grohl’s Foo Fighters. This guide is the essential companion to one of modern music’s greatest bands. “Come as You Are” and relive the birth of grunge all over again.
“Their trajectory went from wildly improbable, to amazing… to tragedy. What was left was their music, which has refused to go away, because there is something real there that people want, something that the sterile, overproduced corporate-machine-made cotton candy that dominates our pop charts is lacking.”
- Jack Endino, from the foreword to The Rough Guide to Nirvana
