Review: Mudhoney's 'Plastic Eternity' hears a dejectedly fitting 'Loser Edition' fly into our faces, once more hammering home the band's fervent commitment to battling climate change through grunge. The irony of this statement is immense - the band say it themselves; 'the world is filling up with (grunge), humanity remains addicted to pollution despite the planet getting hotter by the minute'. But that's the entire point. This band has been around for over 30 years and their distinctive West Coast grunge sound might be new to some, but we're sure newcomers will be sold on it - it's got raucous clangers, anti-fash love songs, and even dog-friendly protest tunes all in the mix.
