'Grunge' by Michael Lavine

The photography book 'Grunge' by Michael Lavine:

great book. Half street photography and half band portraits, it captures entirely the two greatest decades in the history of grunge. It features studio portraits and  backstage shoots of the greatest grunge artists such as Nirvana, SoundgardenMudhoneyPearl Jam and Sonic Youth, and for those interested in grunge music, I really recommend investigating some of the more obscure bands showcased in this book. 
'Grunge' is a homage both to grunge music and style- think layered leatherdenim and Belstaff parkas
