1990: "Black Glove", The Fluid

C/Z may (or may not) have gotten to grunge first, but Sub Pop was quicker to break out of the Pac NW market, signing Denver act The Fluid - as grunge as any motherfuckers outside of Seattle - to a deal in time to release their 1988 record, Clear Black Paper. Since I'm starting this blog at 1990 there's a lot of early grunge shit being overlooked, but this song from 1990's Glue EP shows The Fluid was still kicking strong several releases into their career.
