“I didn’t play with a Big Muff for a long time and felt like a fraud”: Mudhoney’s Steve Turner and Mark Arm like to lose control, but without straying too far from their comfort zone

Mudhoney.

Dating back to their 1988 debut record, Superfuzz Bigmuff, Mudhoney guitar duo Steve Turner and Mark Arm have made a habit of bludgeoning the listener over the head with a mega combination of Big Muff-inspired riffs and DOD-driven solos.

They might not have been belles of the ball, but Mudhoney sure did matter. One listen to Mudhoney (1989), Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge (1991) and Piece of Cake (1995) will remind you of their importance – even if acts like Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and Soundgarden captured the lion’s share of the attention.
