Soundgarden are an internationally successful American alternative rock
band, who first appeared from amidst the damp and misty city of

was referred to as the
'Grunge' movement of the early
1990s. The band members are lead vocalist Chris Cornell,
guitarist Kim Thayil, bassist
Hiro Yamamoto, and drummer
Matt Cameron.
They produced five studio albums between 1988 and 1996,
'Superunknown'
(1994) and 'Down on the Upside' (1995) being the most successful and
charting at No.1 and No.2 respectively. The band split in 1997 and
Chris Cornell went on to form Audioslave
with Tom Morello of
Rage Against the Machine.
Cornell also concentrated on a number of solo projects.
Matt Cameron joined
Eddie Vedder and
Pearl Jam where he has remained ever since.
Soundgarden supported Guns N' Roses on
their 1991 tour and played the 1992 Lollapalooza tour with
Red Hot Chili Peppers,
Pearl Jam and
Ministry. They starred in - and contributed to
the soundtrack of the Matt Dillon film
