Soundgarden

In April 1994, when Soundgarden took the stage at Brixton Academy in London, they were riding a wave of significant momentum thanks to the release of their fourth studio album, *Superunknown*, just a year later. However, around this time, they were still deeply immersed in the cult success of their previous album, *Badmotorfinger*, which had dropped in 1991. This record was a pivotal moment for the band, marking their rise in the grunge scene alongside peers like Nirvana and Pearl Jam. The London show captured in "My Wave" highlights not just their electrifying live performance but also the raw energy of a band on the brink of monumental success. Interestingly, *Superunknown* would eventually catapult them into the mainstream, featuring hits like "Black Hole Sun" and "Spoonman." So, here they are in London, full of ambition and passion—a snapshot of a band before they hit the big leagues.
