J-rock Artists take a stab at reconstructing one of the most heralded albums of all time, Nirvana’s 1991 Nevermind.
Just a shy over 20 years have past, and Kurt Cobain would have been 45 this week. In honor of his birthday week, news was released that a group of J-bands have put together a mighty tribute album.
Above we get a quick listen at 9 mm Parabellum Bullet’s version of “Territorial Pissings.” The full track listing follows:
01 Smells Like Teen Spirit / ONE OK ROCK
02 In Bloom / LOW IQ 01
03 Come As You Are / BACK DROP BOMB
04 Breed / 10-FEET
05 Lithium / MAN WITH A MISSION
06 Polly / 大橋トリオ
07 Territorial Pissings / 9mm Parabellum Bullet
08 Drain You / →Pia-no-jaC←
09 Lounge Act / Four Minutes Til Midnight
10 Stay Away / THE NOVEMBERS
11 On A Plain / 後日発表
12 Something In The Way / SiM
UPDATE: Check out 10-Feet’s best version of Nirvana in “Breed.”
Sounds eerily good, except for some of the lyrics sound a little off. Of course, understanding Cobain’s lyrics are pretty damn hard to do.
There should be something for everyone here. Preorder the Nevermind Tribute album out 4.4.2012 from CDJapan. Like the Nevermind Tribute page on Facebook.

Wow, 9mm covering Nirvana. Works out I guess, but it was unexpected…
