The most complete account of the 1980s-1990s Seattle music scene.
The interconnected origins and spectacular rise of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Mudhoney, Fastbacks, Bikini Kill, Seven Year Bitch, TAD, the Young Fresh Fellows, the Posies, Alice in Chains, the Presidents of the United States of America, Fastbacks, Beat Happening, Built to Spill, Flop, the Gits, the Melvins, and many many more.
How a group of self-proclaimed "losers" became the music industry's darlings, only to get (mostly) tossed aside like an old grungy shirt.
Painstakingly detailed. Lavishly illustrated, with period photos and cover art.
LOSER is the only book about the so-called "grunge" era created during its peak, by people who were there at the time.
Written by Seattle music/history nerd Clark Humphrey (who also wrote "Vanishing Seattle"). Designed by rock-poster legend Art Chantry.
Now with an updated discography and 16 new pages (including many "whatever happened to" stories).
