The record that includes hits such as Smells like Teen Spirit, Come as You Are, and Lithium continues to rattle speakers with grunge that truly rocks. This book tells the fully illustrated story of the band that spoke for Generation X in the '90s. Here we are, a quarter century after Nirvana irrevocably changed rock and roll, and the band continues to make headlines and influence music lovers. A documentary about the band and Cobain's solo album Montage of Heck: The Home Recordings were released last year, demanding a closer look at one of rock and roll's geniuses. This book reveals the band's history with fresh eyes, telling the story of a group that instigated a return to punk-inspired rock.

The book also includes performance and backstage photography, as well as handbills, singles, ticket stubs, gig posters, and other memorabilia that complement the narrative. You'll also find album reviews, gear breakdowns, and mini synopses of Cobain's fifty all-time favorite albums.
