Mudhoney is a
Seattle rock band that formed in
1988. The band is comprised of Mark Arm on vocals and guitar, Steve Turner on lead guitar, Dan Peters on drums, and Guy Maddison on bass. Along with future members of
Pearl Jam, Arm and Turner began their careers with the mid-'80s Seattle Green River. After that band spit up, the pair formed Mudhoney and released a self-titled debut LP in
1989. Mudhoney was one of the two bands later credited with helping to inspire
Nirvana (the other being
The Melvins), and their crude,
garage rock-inspired sound held a major influence over the entire
Seattle grunge scene of the early
1990s. The band is scheduled to release an eighth studio album,
The Lucky Ones, in
2008.
