Core

Stone Temple Pilots

A massive debut of swinging grunge riffs and baritone crooning. Heavy, polished, and defined by a melodic groove that separates it from its Seattle peers.

Find on Amazon

The 90s album that proved grunge could have a massive, swinging groove and a baritone soul.

A heavy, brooding exploration of identity and tension delivered with a confident, melodic swagger.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring megaphone-distorted a cappella opening of Dead and Bloated that sets a confrontational tone.
The transition from the gentle acoustic strumming to the massive, soaring chorus in Plush.
The hypnotic, descending guitar line in Creep that captures a perfect 90s sense of isolation.
