Overview
"Bleach" is the explosive debut album from American rock legends Nirvana, originally released on June 15, 1989, by Sub Pop. This gritty record captured the raw, unpolished sound of the band’s early days, establishing them as pioneers of the grunge movement. Recorded in Seattle's Reciprocal Recording studios, "Bleach" features a driving, heavy sound mixed with Kurt Cobain's raw, emotionally charged songwriting.
The album was initially met with critical acclaim but didn't chart until after the massive success of their second album, Nevermind. Reissued by Geffen Records in 1992, Bleach began to receive the recognition it deserved, eventually becoming a certified platinum record in the U.S. With tracks like "About A Girl," "Love Buzz," and "Negative Creep," the album showcases the signature blend of punk, metal, and melodic rock that Nirvana would become famous for.
As Nirvana's first studio album, Bleach features the band's original lineup with drummer Chad Channing. The album’s raw sound has made it a timeless piece in the grunge genre and a cornerstone of Nirvana's legacy. "Bleach" continues to influence generations of musicians and fans alike, earning its place on Rolling Stone's list of "50 Greatest Grunge Albums."
