The Unquiet Grave Episode 52: Touch Me I’m Sick (Grunge)

Sun, Jun 5, 2022

Join me tonight from 9-11pm right here on WRIR for music from early 90s/late 80s Seattle that wasn’t quite punk or metal, but constituted a new “third sound”: something widely called “grunge” today. If you think grunge is outside of the purview of this show: get over it, man!

Listen live here or check the archive later.

You can listen to an archived version of this episode (and all my episodes) at this page on my website. Check out future episodes as they’re announced right here. You can also follow me on Twitter here.

Thanks for listening. Next week will be a repeat, and then on June 12th I’ll be back with an episode all about heavy metal of the Middle East.
