Seattle Grunge Bands: Where Are They Now?
Since the 90s are back in style (again), it’s time to slather on some dark eyeliner, see if our old, ripped jeans still fit (hint; they don’t), wipe off the dust of these old Seattle Grunge records and pour one out for the homies who’ve passed away while we’re at it.

We still mourn the passing of Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain, Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell, Screaming Tree’s Mark Lanegan and Van Conner, Alice in Chains’ Layne Staley and Mike Starr, Malfunkshun and Mother Love Bone’s Andrew Wood, and Foo Fighter’s Taylor Hawkins.
