The beginning of the group

music scene, releasing the debut album Bleach on
the independent label Sub Pop. After signing a

gained unexpected success with the song «Smells
Like Teen Spirit» from her second album

Early years
• Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic first met at Aberdeen High
School, but, according to Cobain, did not communicate for
a long time. They became friends, often visiting the
rehearsal base of the band The Melvins. Cobain wanted to
create his own musical group together with Novoselic, but
Krist did not agree for a long time. Three years after they
met, Krist finally listened to a recording of Fecal Matter,
Cobain’s first project, and invited Kurt to start playing
together. The first drummer of the band was Bob
McFadden, who left the band a month later. In the winter
of 1987, Krist and Kurt hired drummer Aaron Burkhardt.
