Page "Green River (band)" Paragraph 5

In June 1986, the band began production on its second EP, Dry As a Bone, with local producer Jack Endino.

Green River chose to record Dry As a Bone for Bruce Pavitt's new label, Sub Pop.

However, Pavitt couldn't afford to release it until the following year, and, as had happened with Come on Down, the record was delayed.

In the meantime the band issued the one-off " Together We'll Never " single on the local Tasque Force Records label.

Dry As a Bone was finally released through Sub Pop in July 1987, a full year after it was recorded.

It was the new label's first non-compilation release.

Dry As a Bone was promoted by Sub Pop as " ultra-loose GRUNGE that destroyed the morals of a generation.

" Steve Huey of Allmusic called it Green River's " strongest individual release ... perfecting their sleazy, raucous fusion of ' 70s hard rock and post-hardcore punk.
