Where it leads
Bay Area Thrash Metal
Riffs cut like machine tools, tempos past 200bpm, and a garage circuit that rewrote American metal.
Seattle Grunge
Heavy riffs played by people raised on punk, recorded cheap in the Pacific Northwest and then sold worldwide.
Detroit Proto-Punk
Pull this thread and you get Michigan guitar noise from 1969 ballrooms to 1999 basements, unbroken.
