They brought this kind of dirty, heavier post-punk sound to their debut EP in 1984. 10 Minute Warning were another early Seattle punk band to slow down in terms of the tempo of their music.

Cobain’s feelings here echoed those of other young creatives in Seattle at the time. Seattle wasn’t short of young bands working hard and putting out some really great music at the time. There was a general sense of frustration, though, amongst the community at the time due to the fact that most of them were just not really getting anywhere with it. Being so cut off from the big city hubs was a significant detriment to the opportunities for many young and talented people. It was tough breaking out of your small city at that time.
