You’re No Big Deal - Grunge, The US Underground and Beyond 1984-1994
During the late 1980s, whilst pop, rap, and glam metal dominated the American airwaves, underground musicians sought an antidote. Bands from Seattle in the west to New York in the east emerged with a raw and powerful sound, fusing punky garage band attitude with meaningful, often disenchanted lyrics and distortion to create something new. The grunge tag quickly took hold, drawing bands from all over the States and becoming a social phenomenon.
You’re No Big Deal explores a vital period in post-punk American musical history, the rebirth of rock music, and its new place among the underground elite. With sleevenotes from Mudhoney’s Mark Arm, this album delves into a time and place that saw anti-rock stars recalibrate what American guitar-based music could be. Packed with over 80 tracks spanning a decade, the album features key bands like Green River, Red Kross, Soundgarden, Pixies, Mudhoney, Sonic Youth, and many more.
The tracklisting is presented in roughly chronological order across four discs, telling a story that spread far beyond the ambitions of its key players. Some standout tracks include "Touch Me I'm Sick" by Mudhoney, "Kool Thing" by Sonic Youth, "I Hope You Die" by Toadies, and "Pushin' Forward Back" by Temple Of The Dog. The album also includes tracks from lesser-known artists who contributed to the grunge movement.
You’re No Big Deal is a comprehensive collection that captures the essence of the grunge era and its impact on American music. Dive into this nostalgic journey through a pivotal time in rock history.
