When it comes to grunge or even just Seattle, I think there was one band that made the definitive music of the time. It wasn't us or Nirvana, but Mudhoney. Nirvana delivered it to the world, but Mudhoney were the band of that time and sound.

As far as the grunge thing, there are three bands from Seattle that I would call true grunge.

Seattle isn't known for a particular production sound, so that leaves a lot of great producers in Seattle doing kind of their own thing. And I think, for me, I was probably enough removed from hip-hop that my style was even a little bit weirder than that.

I listened to all types of music, and obviously when I got to Seattle I was very much aware of the music scene there.

I was big into grunge, like Nirvana and Hole, when I was younger, which has been a really huge inspiration because of its rawness and honesty.

We were perceived as a post-grunge band.

Doolittle was a major influence on the Seattle grunge scene, which emerged in the early 1990s.

I was crazy for music as a high school kid and a college kid.

I think early on in my career, I was heavily inspired by bands like Throbbing Gristle and Test Dept, and films of David Lynch, for example, where the soundscape plays a very important role in the listening experience.

I was raised around music.
