The spouses did not deny drug use, and due to their excessive consumption, Nirvana were repeatedly forced to cancel the promised concerts. Curt Cobain, the band’s leader, married Courtney Love, the vocalist on the indie band Hole.
Nevertheless, they continued to act in an aggressive and extravagant manner, while doing shows, interviews or videos. The young musicians of Nirvana, who had never tasted the rich life, were not ready for the sudden popularity. Many started to copy Nirvana’s style combining expressive, melodic and heavy dirty sound with depressive and sophisticated lyrics. This album freed the alternative music from underground and led it to the biggest stages, television and most popular magazines covers.
By February 1992, Nevermind ran triple platinum. The UK audience welcomed this album as warmly as back in the States. In the early 1992, Nevermind dethroned Michael Jackson’s Dangerous and topped the American charts. The perfect example of Nirvana’s art was Smells Like Teen Spirit, an MTV favorite. The music by Nirvana, simple, yet original and sincere, made its makers the new youth icons. Neither the label nor the musicians themselves expected this record to gain such stunning success. In September 1991, after the European tour with Sonic Youth, Nirvana released their best album, Nevermind, one of the most outstanding pieces in the history of rock-music. Dave Grohl, the drummer, was the last member to join the band and complete the lineup. Many labels fought each other for the chance to sign a contract with the talented young musicians making an original sort of music. Thanks to multiple concerts and promotion via college radio, Nirvana interested big recording companies. They recorded the debut album, Bleach, for as little as 606.17 USD and released it in spring 1989.
Nirvana is an American band formed by Curt Cobain and Krist Novoselic in 1987, in Aberdeen, a small town in Washington.
