Description
At the dawn of the '90s, before alternative rock ruled the world, Soundgarden were already shaking the foundations. Loud, fearless, and wired with a sense of controlled chaos, the band turned every stage into a proving ground. Searching With My Good Eye Closed captures Soundgarden at that exact breaking point -- when underground power met global momentum and the airwaves carried something dangerous.
Sourced from live radio broadcasts from 1990 and 1991, this release documents Chris Cornell, Kim Thayil, Ben Shepherd, and Matt Cameron in their raw, hungry prime. Cornell's voice soars and snarls in equal measure, moving from haunted melody to full-throttle roar without warning. Thayil's guitar riffs grind and spiral, bending metal, punk, and psychedelia into Soundgarden's unmistakable signature.
You can hear a band stretching beyond the Seattle underground, sharpening songs that would soon reshape rock radio. The rhythms hit harder, the structures grow stranger, and the atmosphere feels thick with anticipation. The broadcasts feel like a transmission from the edge Turn it up. Feel the distortion. Let the music hit you the way they did back then -- loud, urgent, and unapologetically Soundgarden.
