Through their music, Nirvana channeled the voice of a generation. Now, thirty years after āNevermind,ā look back at Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl, and Krist Novoselic during highlights of the bandās short but legendary career.
Though they were only a band for a few short years, Nirvana left an indelible mark on music and culture. Formed in 1987 with guitarist/lead singer Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic, the group found its groove when recruiting drummer Dave Grohl in 1990. After releasing āBleachā for independent label Sub Pop in 1989, the group ā not happy with Sub Pop ā signed with Geffen Records. āNevermindā arrived in September 1996, roughly a month after the albumās lead single, āSmells Like Teen Spirit,ā was released to radio. āTeen Spiritā eventually released No. 6 on the Billboard Top 100, and announced a new sound that would eventually be dubbed grunge. In 1993, āIn Utero,ā the bandās third and final album, was released to commercial and critical success. Sadly, Kurt ā who battled mental health issues and drug addiction for years ā succumbed to his demons the following year. On April 5, 1994, the Nirvana frontman died by suicide. He was found dead in his Seattle home three days later.
Since then, the legacy of Nirvana has continued to grow. Take a look back at the band through their short but powerful career.
