Soundgarden at The Rave/Eagles Ballroom
Soundgarden assured a place for the genuinely downtuned and dejected in the music industry’s fevered raid upon “grunge” in the early ’90s, and it’s been 17 years since the band took a somewhat-unsteady curtain call with 1996’s Down On The Upside. Since then, drummer Matt Cameron hooked up with his fellow Seattle brothers-in-arms Pearl Jam, while lead singer Chris Cornell stayed busy with the likes of Audioslave and—sigh—that one solo album with Timbaland (2009’s Scream). But with the band currently touring behind the new King Animal, Soundgarden is once again firing on all cylinders. They aren’t rewriting the playbook, though; lead single “Been Away Too Long,” like the rest of King Animal’s highlights, is cataclysm as comfort food.
