Screaming Life / Fopp

Recorded
1987-1988
Released

Following their Deep Six compilation appearance and the “Hunted Down” single, the latter being Matt Cameron’s debut with the group, Soundgarden kicked into gear with 1987’s Screaming Life EP and the following year’s Fopp EP, with the two paired together regularly as a full length release since 1990. While the lengthy epics were yet to come, Soundgarden sounded big already, Chris Cornell’s famed vocal ability fully in place and the band touching on everything from stomping hard rock to doomy goth to, via Fopp’s title track, a solid Ohio Players cover.
