“Music you love is imprinted on all that is you, a tattoo of sorts that fades too deep into the skin to see but remains against the bone, a memory of youth or an important era of your life.”
Scott Thompson, Lost in ‘96

Stephen Tow
“Any local music scene at any point in time can be referred to as derivative of more well-known acts. The line separating influence from imitation is a blurry one. Very few artists are completely original; even great artists build upon what has occurred before, and add their personality and talent to create their own original expression.”
Stephen Tow, The Strangest Tribe: How a Group of Seattle Rock Bands Invented Grunge
