New Book, ‘Grunge! The Story of the Music That Redefined Rock

Grunge deserves books.  Like Gillian Gaar’s new book’s title states, this genre did permanently redefine rock music, a major contributor to pop culture for decades.  Author Gillian Gaar has been writing about Seattle since the days of grunge and was on the scene since the original era, and now has compiled her thoughts into a new book, ‘Grunge! The Story of the Music That Redefined Rock.’ 

According to the book’s blurb, Gaar covers many aspects of grunge, from the band to the venues and record labels.  Included is photos of several prize pieces of memorabilia, artwork, and pictures of the star players in the late 1980s and early 1990s.  The rise of grunge is a terrific story and Gaar’s telling of it gives a good chance that we’ll learn and appreciate this special time in music.
