Listen To Nirvana's First Demo Tape

Raw, Powerful and Real

This demo has Dale Crover (The Melvins) on drums

It still amazes me how Nirvana exploded onto the scene.  Think about it, at the time this demo was shopped, the rock music scene was NOTHING like what was contained on this cassette tape.  This was a true David vs Goliath type situation:  Small start up band out of the Pacific Northwest trying to break through in an overcrowded, homogenized rock scene.  A few people took a chance on these guys and the rest was history.  I always wonder (and sometimes out loud on our show) what would have happened if Nirvana had not come to such a tragic end.  Never knowing the answer is another part of what cements Nirvana into 'legendary' status in rock history.   ---Lyncher
