More From The Cobain 50

Martin Douglas dives into Paganicons by Saccharine Trust, written in Kurt’s list as “1st EP.”

Roddy Nikpour dives into The Record by Fear. Fear sings from a grotesque vantage point to call out injustice through “punk irony.” 

Dusty Henry dives into Tales of Terror by Tales of Terror. Their run was short, but their influence has kept their music alive for generations.
