Breaking Waves: Seattle is the riveting story of the Seattle grunge scene, which came to define rock in the 1990s. The show traces the local roots of the music, and details the rise and fall of the grunge scene, including the triumphs and tragedies experienced by artists and fans.

The show concludes with a look toward the future—examining the legacy of the ‘90s scene and highlighting artists carrying the city’s music forward, such as Ben Gibbard, Ayron Jones, Eva Walker, Travis Thompson and others who will create Seattle’s next Breaking Wave.

    Highly recommend
    To have lived through this and then hear the podcast it’s like This Is Your Life lol. The podcast is incredibly thorough and well done. This piece of music history should be preserved and this does that. I will be re listening. Learned a lot.

    Great podcast but clearly not local
    Pronunciation of local towns is way off.

    Great podcast, but felt like it left some stuff out
    Really enjoyed this podcast, but kind of disappointed that they left out some of the heavy hitters of country music and it’s history to the city

    Great podcast
    This has got to be one of my favorite podcasts ever! It is so crazy to hear all of the old club names and bands that started at these clubs.

    Where’s the music?
    Great trot down memory lane as a kid growing around Seattle in 80s and 90s. But where’s the music?? I know these bands and albums that are mentioned well, but weave in more clips of love bone, early soundgarden, green river, melvins, etc., so people less familiar with the deeper scene get a real sense of the power of these bands. Too much talking, not enough music.
