Shortly after the release of their ⁠major label debut⁠, Seattle’s @soundgarden found themselves at a crossroads. Founding bassist Hiro Yamamoto parted ways with the band, leaving a massive hole to fill. Moreover, @soundgarden had exhausted their entire vault of songs on previous releases, compelling them to start from scratch.

In early 1991, however, guitarist & vocalist @chriscornellofficial experienced an unprecedented wave of creativity which birthed new ideas for @soundgarden, @templeofthedog⁠, and an upcoming ⁠Cameron Crowe film⁠ set in Seattle. Despite the daunting search for Hiro’s replacement, newcomer Ben Shepherd (@hunterbhunted) proved himself more than capable of the role, injecting a unique punk edge and energy into the band.

Starting from nothing wasn’t necessarily a bad thing either, as it forced the band to take creative risks on their next album. No idea was too crazy. These new songs were packed with off-kilter rhythms, soaring vocal performances, and, of course, riffs.

The result of these sessions set the pace for everything to come. The @soundgarden as we know them today had finally arrived. Join us as we delve into @soundgarden’s 1991 opus, ⁠Badmotorfinger⁠ 🤘🎧 NOW STREAMING on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, & YouTube (Links in bio)
