Soundgarden

In 2015, when Soundgarden took to the stage at Soundwave Festival in Adelaide, they were well in the swing of their reunion era. The band had released "King Animal" in 2012, which marked their first studio album after a lengthy hiatus. This album, filled with the signature grunge sound, was like a love letter to long-time fans while also inviting new listeners into their sonic world. “Kickstand,” which they performed live at this festival, is a classic from their earlier album “Badmotorfinger," showcasing their raw energy and dynamic musicality. What’s intriguing about this performance is how it highlights the band’s ability to resonate emotionally with the audience, even after years apart. The palpable excitement of the crowd, mixed with Soundgarden’s powerful instrumentation and Chris Cornell's haunting vocals, created an unforgettable experience. It’s moments like these that remind us why they remain a titan in the rock world. Isn't it lovely to see how music can weave together generations?
