Critics Review
“This is the book anyone touched by Nirvana has been waiting to read” Mojo
“A more vivid account from an insider’s perspective than anything else yet published about this extraordinary band” Guardian
“It was Everett who brought the label men scurrying to Seattle with their cheque books after writing excitedly in Melody Maker about the city’s independent rock scene in 1989” Carol Clerk, Uncut
“Everett True is the biggest rock star journalist in the whole world” Kurt Cobain, 1992
“Everett True is an astute cultural observer and a brilliant writer. His friendship with Nirvana, and Sub Pop, allowed him access to experiences that no other documentarian can share. Nirvana: the True Story is foundational reading.” Bruce Pavitt, founder Sub Pop Records
“Everett is the guy that like runs England” Courtney Love, 1993
“A solid argument can be made that Everett True was the guy to bring International attention to Seattle’s weird little music scene. He seemed to be everywhere, including living in Seattle for a while. Reading this book, I learned a lot about things I thought I already knew a lot about. I also sound like an arrogant little prick in this book. 59 year old me is sorry about 25 year old me. There’s lots of books about Nirvana out there, but I believe Everett got it about as right as anyone could. He was there.” Steve Turner, Mudhoney
