The grunge explosion that took over the world in the early ’90s exists in iceberg form, with ubiquitously popular bands like Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam as the most visible examples of the sound. As with any iceberg, these bands are just what’s most apparent sitting atop a mass of other active and influential but less immediately traceable players. You’re No Big Deal explores the grunge iceberg extensively, collecting over 80 tracks of heavy, ragged, and righteous noise recorded between 1984 and 1994 by some of the most- and least-known acts in and around the grunge movement. The tracks here were curated with help from Mark Arm, whose late-‘80s band Green River starts things off with the crude and metallic “Come On Down.”
