In case you missed ’em, we’ve got a few pieces to mark the occasion:– Nirvana co-founder/bassist Krist Novoselic interviews Bleach drummers Dale Crover and Chad Channing — Jack Endino: Recording Nirvana Before They Were Nirvana– Bleach Signaled Chaos Around the Corner– Back in BleachHere’s a piece of Novoselic’s interview with Channing that was cut for space:Novoselic: Was Bleach punk or rock? Channing: Even though Kurt did things that could be in your face, there was a light flavoring pop tone. Because of his singing and vocal melodies – a popsensical way of doing things. If he was screaming all the time it would be more of a punk thing, so it was more pop – metal.Novoselic: Grunge was taking off at the time. There was a cohesive Seattle scene.Channing: Like Mudhoney was at the forefront.Novoselic: They were a great band. They toured the UK to great reviews.Channing: They were the spearhead. At that time, was there even a word “grunge”?
