Mother Love Bone

Heavy metal
Heavy metalRap

Mother Love Bone is a Heavy metal and Rap act. Their sound grew out of Sanctuary, Green River and Argent. Those roots explain a lot about how Mother Love Bone arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Temple of the Dog, Screaming Trees, Green River, Days of the New and Jerry Cantrell, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Temple of the Dog, Pearl Jam, Rainier Fog, Soundgarden and Stereophonics, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 31 connections around Mother Love Bone, reaching back through Sanctuary and forward to Temple of the Dog.

Background

Mother Love Bone was an American rock band that formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1987. The band was active up until 1990. Frontman Andrew Wood's charisma and songwriting helped to catapult the group to the top of the burgeoning Seattle music scene at the time. Wood died shortly before the scheduled release of the band's debut album Apple, resulting in the breakup of the band. The album was released a few months later, though many recollections of demos, b-sides, and live performances were released and given to the general public as well.
