Soundgarden

When Soundgarden lit up the Bayou Music Center in Houston on May 24, 2013, they were riding a wave of renewed energy following the release of their album *King Animal* in 2012. This marked their first studio effort in over 16 years, signaling a triumphant return to the music scene. Fans were eager to hear tracks like “Been Away Too Long” and “Outshined," both of which reflect the band’s signature blend of grunge and heavy metal. What's fascinating about this particular live recording of “Kickstand” is how it captures the raw intensity and chemistry of the band, showcasing their confidence after reuniting. Chris Cornell’s powerful vocals and Kim Thayil’s masterful guitar work shine through, making it clear they hadn't missed a beat. It’s a testament to their enduring legacy, proving that Soundgarden's music continues to resonate, even years after their initial breakthrough.
