"It stands out among the many books about the band." - Pitchfork

At the end of 1991, Nirvana burst into the public consciousness and divided the music world willy-nilly with the track Smells Like Teen Spirit from the Nevermind album. At that time, Michael Jackson, the king of pop, and heavy metal bands dominated the charts. While many similar bands were doomed in this era, the punk style found in Nirvana's music made the band particularly successful.

After less than two and a half years, Kurt Cobain, the frontman of Nirvana, passed away. This sealed the band's fate, but thanks to the very large fan base that kept the band alive, it did not sink into oblivion.

In this book you can find all the important and current moments related to Nirvana, but it also talks about the members who are still alive today, e.g. About Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl's joint production with Sir Paul McCartney, as well as Grohl's band Foo Fighters.

The book about the stormy history of Nirvana reveals to the reader both Cobain's professional career and personal life in full detail. Hundreds of memorabilia bear witness to the band's work, including flyers, posters, concert tickets - the volume is complemented by the great pictures of these relics. The result speaks for itself: fans of the band can hold a beautiful, demanding, information-rich work in their hands.
