No Recess

Nirvana's 'Bleach' came out in 1989. I sadly didn't spend much time with the album until recently and now I'm obsessed. Lucky for me this lo-fi sludge-fest will see a 20th anniversary release in November with an unreleased 1990 live show, on vinyl!!

For the most part, when Kurt Cobain's name is mentioned in the news, it's related to controversy. This 20th anniversary release is bringing the focus back to the music.

Some argue that many bands involved in the underground Seattle scene (and beyond) could have blown up like Nirvana did. But listen to a song like "School" or "About A Girl" from 'Bleach' and it's evident that this band would exist on a different level.

Check out previously unreleased footage of "School," performed by the band at the Reading Festival in 92.

Rolling Stone has a link to a previously unreleased live version of "Scoff" from the reissue.
