NIRVANA

Nirvana was an american rock band that was formed in 1987, in Aberdeen, Washington. The band was formed by singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain, the bassist Krist Novoselic and the drummer, Dave Grohl. Nirvana has come to be regarded as one of the most influential and important rock bands of the modern era. 

The band eventually came to develop a sound that relied on dynamic contrasts, often between quiet verses and loud, heavy choruses. After signing to major label DGC Records, Nirvana found unexpected success with "Smells Like Teen Spirit", the first single from the band's second album Nevermind (1991).

Nirvana's brief run ended following the death of Kurt Cobain in 1994, but various posthumous releases have been issued since, overseen by Novoselic, Grohl, and Cobain's widow Courtney Love.
