soundgarden

Earlier this summer, Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil hinted that he was spending some of the band's downtime focusing on a reissue of the band's two early EPs -- 'Screaming Life' and 'Fopp.' It now appears as though everything is good to go as the two EPs are packaged together for the 'Screaming Life' / 'Fopp' reissue due Nov. 26.

Jaxon Smith wasn't even alive when Soundgarden's song 'Jesus Christ Pose' first hit airwaves in 1991, but that hasn't stopped him from learning how to play it on drums. And amazingly well at that.

Did you know that Soundgarden bassist Ben Shepherd nearly became a member of Nirvana? Before either Soundgarden or Nirvana became grunge legends, Shepherd almost became Nirvana's second guitarist, but the band chose instead to remain a three-piece until the addition of Germs strummer Pat Smear.

If you happen to be upset about missing Soundgarden on their early 2013 North American tour, stiffen that upper lip and wipe away those tears, because the legendary grunge act have just revealed a second leg of North American dates. Sequenced in yet another month-long block, Soundgarden are confirmed to perform a sweet cluster of North American shows beginning on May 3 in Atlantic City, N.J. Read

Rock on the Range announced their 2013 line up last week and HOLY SH*T BALLS is it epic! Tickets go on sale Friday, February 1st and I have a feeling that if you don't get them early, you're not going to get them at all.

Last night, Digital Summer took down Dark New Day to earn their spot in the majestic Rock Cock Hall of Fame, which is pretty awesome. Be listening for their tune 'Dance in the Fire' here on 99X. With all that being said, it's time for 2 new warriors to step into the pit. And tonight it's going to be on HELL of a heavyweight battle between two legendary bands - Anthrax and Soundgarden. Who wins it

The 2013 Rock on the Range lineup has been unveiled and it's packed with must-see bands. Rock on the Range will celebrate its seventh year of festival madness with perhaps its best lineup to date. The three-day event will feature Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, Korn, Stone Sour, Lamb of God and many more.

After two-plus years of touring and a new album, there's good news for Soundgarden fans as it looks like their reunion is one that will continue. Frontman Chris Cornell revealed the band's status update in a new interview with Billboard.

Soundgarden's reunion continues to be a fruitful one, with the band finally offering their first new music in 16 years with the 'King Animal' album. And while there are some that may question their motives for getting back together, guitarist Kim Thayil says it was truly a quite organic happening.

This February, you could be flying to Seattle – the home of grunge and the rainy capital of the Northwest Kingdom – to see Soundgarden live in concert and meet the band backstage. The prize also includes $500 – so you can do Seattle right. It's like 1994 all over again.

With King Animal - their first album of new material in 16 years - finally on the streets, Soundgarden are hitting the TV shows to pimp the new effort.  Last night, The Jimmy Kimmel Show hosted Chris Cornell and Company, and they blew out two songs from the new album

For the first time in 16 years, we are all waiting around for a new album from Soundgarden. The anticipation is building. The blood is flowing....It's exciting! But the wait for 'King Animal' is all but over with because the band is streaming the new album online right now!
