Mudhoney

Biography

Mudhoney is an American grunge band from Seattle, Washington. The group was founded in 1988 by Mark Arm (vocals), Steve Turner (guitar), Dan Peters (drums), and Matt Lukin (bass). Mark Arm and Steve Turner had known each other since Green River (formed in 1984). Their early releases on the Sub Pop label, which achieved relative success, contributed to the definition of the 'Seattle sound' and grunge. A first EP called SuperFuzz BigMuff, containing among other tracks Touch Me I'm Sick (which would later be covered by Sonic Youth), was released in 1988 on Sub Pop. Mudhoney then followed with two albums on the same label, Mudhoney in 1989 (whose track When Tomorrow Hits was covered by Spacemen 3) and Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge in 1991.
