Soundgarden

In February 2015, when Soundgarden performed "My Wave" at Festival Hall in Melbourne, they were riding the wave of renewed activity after a period of relative silence. This live recording came a couple of years after the release of "King Animal" in 2012, which marked their first studio album in 16 years. "King Animal" showcased their signature grunge sound, blending heavy riffs with introspective lyrics, bringing both old and new fans together. It’s fascinating to think about how a band that played a pivotal role in defining the '90s alternative rock landscape managed to stay relevant and vibrant years later. The Melbourne concert highlighted not just their classic tracks but also the energy that had sustained their fanbase. Notably, this performance was part of their 2015 tour, and it served as a reminder of their evolution, taking the stage again after such a long hiatus and reconnecting with the raw power that characterized their earlier work. What a journey it’s been!
