about
Bundle of Hiss -- along with groups like the U-Men and Skin Yard -- created what was to become known as grunge. The one thing that was different was the fact that Bundle of Hiss was crafting the Seattle Sound roughly six years before it exploded with groups like Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Singer Russ Bartlett and bassist Kurt Danielson formed Bundle of Hiss with guitarist Jeff Hopper in 1980. The group went through a string of drummers before they recruited 15-year-old Dan Peters in 1984. It was also around this time that Hopper left to pursue a college degree at Western Washington University. On the prowl for a new six-string player, Danielson stumbled upon Jamie Lane at a University of Washington poetry workshop. When their lineup was finally stabilized, the members stepped into a Seattle studio to record their first demo tape. With help from producer Gordon Halperin, the group recorded the tracks "Famine at Dawn" and "Metamorphosis/Afterimage." The two tracks found their way onto a compilation titled "I Fucking Forget". A year later, Bundle of Hiss visited Ironwood Studios to record the song "Nitro" for a vinyl compilation called "Lowlife", which was released by Ironwood. At the beginning of 1986, just two months after producer and Skin Yard guitarist Jack Endino opened his infamous Reciprocal Studios, Bundle of Hiss asked for his services to record several songs. These tracks contained the number "Push," which then appeared on a compilation titled "Bands That Will Make Money"
