Where it leads
Seattle Grunge
Heavy riffs played by people raised on punk, recorded cheap in the Pacific Northwest and then sold worldwide.
Boston Alternative
College radio, cheap rehearsal rooms and loud guitars: the US underground's most literate, least glamorous engine room.
Japan Rock
Million-selling guitar music built for Japanese TV, stadiums and karaoke — CD-era records only now reaching vinyl.
