"My biggest influence was punk rock for sure. I was weaned on hard rock like Led Zeppelin, Skin Diver, Aerosmith, and especially the Beatles when I was younger. I’d been kind of developing this style of intense, hard, “grungy,” punk-rock-meets-hard-rock for a couple of years before we started this band, and then it really developed when we got together and stared writing the songs."
— Kurt Cobain (1989)
