Hype! Surviving The Northwest Rock Explosion – The Motion Picture Soundtrack

Subtitled “Surviving the Northwest rock explosion,” the film is a wry documentary about the rise and fall of Seattle as grunge central. The mostly-live original soundtrack covers every major (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden), mid-size (Posies, Mudhoney), and shouldabeen (Fastbacks, Flop, Supersuckers) act imaginable. Think of it as an instant collection of rare Sub Pop, Frontier and C-Z singles. –Jeff Bateman
