NIRVANA

SELECTIONS FROM THE "BLEACH" ALBUM
2026 Calendar

Bandmixers Discography Series / Selections From -

NIRVANA / BLEACH (1989)

Picture
During the Bleach era (1988–1991), Nirvana were a raw, underground grunge band from Aberdeen, Washington, led by Kurt Cobain with Krist Novoselic and drummer Chad Channing. Their debut album Bleach (1989), released on Sub Pop, showcased a heavy, abrasive sound influenced by punk and metal, earning them credibility in the Pacific Northwest scene but limited mainstream attention. As Cobain’s songwriting grew more melodic and dynamic, Nirvana began refining their sound, eventually replacing Channing with drummer Dave Grohl in 1990. By the time they signed with DGC Records and recorded Nevermind, the band was poised to break out of the underground and redefine alternative rock.
