They were one of the bands that defined Seattle’s grunge scene in the ’90s.

While inheriting the spirit of punk, they also had a stadium-rock sense of scale, taking a stance that set them apart from other bands with a more underground mindset.

The album “Vs.”, which includes this track, debuted at number one upon its release and made history by holding that position for five consecutive weeks.
