  Green River - Biography - AOL Music
Green River were arguably the first grunge band, forming around the same time as the rest of Seattle's first wave (the Melvins, Soundgarden, and Malfunkshun).
Green River specialized in a dirty, sludgy, gleefully ugly hybrid of punk, heavy metal, and bluesy hard rock, drawing from bands like the Stooges and Aerosmith in addition to the hardcore punk outfits where many of the members first cut their teeth.
Green River were formed in Seattle in 1984, taking their name from the area's notorious, then-recent serial killer (who wasn't brought to justice until around two decades later).

Green River were an influential Seattle band in the 1980s, named after the Green River Killer.
They were possibly the first band in Seattle to mix metal and punk (as well as glam rock), leading to the sound known later as "grunge"--and Mark Arm, the group's singer, is widely credited as being the first person to use the term, though not in relation to the sound it has come to signify.
Steve Turner was the first member of the band to leave, citing his dislike of the metal leanings of the rest of the band.

It has a lot of strengths, but lie's certainly in the shadows of illustrious forerunners, such as Tortoise and Mercury Rev. There are though,some quite original arrangements, with some fine Cornet playing, not the most common of instruments to find,on such a production.
The band have potential, i'm sure it would be a good live show, they should maybe drop the Sonic Youth swinging between A and B thing though.
The backing band are generally fine, and set up a nice 16 Horsepower type vibe,on a number of the tunes.

Initially approved for about 500 wells, the Jonah was recently given the green light for “infill” development that will result in up to 3,100 new wells, essentially turning the 30,000-acre field into an industrial sacrifice zone.
