Soundgarden

In 1987, when Soundgarden performed "Nothing to Say" live in Los Angeles, they were on the rise but hadn’t yet reached their commercial zenith. This performance was just after the release of their debut studio album, *Ultramega OK*, which came out in 1988, but it’s worth noting they had previously issued the EP *Screaming Life* in 1987. Their sound was already pioneering a unique blend of heavy metal and punk, crafting what would come to be recognized as grunge. This live recording captures the raw energy of their early days when they were still carving out their identity in the blossoming Seattle music scene. It’s interesting to note how devoted their fanbase was even then, showcasing the band’s dynamic stage presence and a style that would hugely influence the rock landscape of the ‘90s. This exciting time laid the foundation for their later iconic status, leading to multiple Grammy wins and a lasting legacy.
