Description

World Domination: The Sub Pop Records Story is the inside story of a label that has promoted some of the most influential bands of the past few decades. Founded in the late 1980s by Bruce Pavitt and Jonathan Poneman, Sub Pop Records released early recordings by regional bands such as Green River, Soundgarden, and Nirvana, before becoming the epicenter of Seattle cool in the 1990s.

The story of Sub Pop Records is one of two irreverent music lovers who stumbled into the record business because they simply loved working with bands they wanted to listen to themselves. From its humble beginnings to the trappings of major music industry success, this is a fascinating snapshot of the label's early days and its continued impact on the music scene today.

Author Gillian G. Gaar draws on firsthand interviews, deep research, and her years of covering the Seattle scene as a local music journalist to bring together the first in-depth historical narrative of one of America's more influential independent record labels.
