Like a thief in the night, Nevermind came in the back door and cleaned out everything before it. It successfully erased (except in the most ironic sense) a whole genre of music - hair metal - while providing a way for people to rock without embarrassing themselves. Much harder than any mainstream rock of 1991, the unbridled power of Nevermind is as catchy as The Beatles and as heavy as Black Sabbath. A brilliant anti-pop pop album, and a great modern punk record.

Few albums have occupied the cultural consciousness like Nevermind. And though this landmark album is hard to hear with fresh ears, The String Quartet Tribute to Nirvana's Nevermind gives you the opportunity. Spring is definitely here again on this latest release from Vitamin Records. We have lovingly distilled Cobain's songs down to their purest essence. Intricate melodies accentuate unusual chord progressions, while the dynamic arrangements performed on violin and cello translate grunge into classical punk. Exhilarating and haunting, it takes you back while taking you forward. Take your time, hurry up, the choice is yours.
