On this episode, my guest is Steve Turner, the cofounder of Seattle punk and grunge bands Green River and Mudhoney. We talk about the grunge scene of Seattle, how it came to be, and the musical influences that shaped its unique sound. Steve shares his experience of being part of the bands that went from playing in underground flophouse shows to selling out stadiums with Nirvana and Pearl Jam.

It's fascinating to hear how the birth of grunge came about after the decline of heavy metal, and how bands like Green River and Soundgarden took a different approach to music. Steve delves into the aspects of Seattle's culture that influenced the grunge scene, including the city's damp, rainy climate and the DIY ethos of the city's youth. We also talk about the challenges that the grunge bands faced, such as navigating the music industry and dealing with the fame that came with success. Throughout the podcast, Steve immerses us in the vibrant musical culture of '80s and '90s Seattle, and provides valuable insight into the origins and evolution of grunge music.

Some topics we dig into in the full episode we explore:

- The origins of Seattle's grunge scene and how it evolved
