Although other Seattle rock bands received heaps more press coverage and racked up larger record sales than Mudhoney during the early '90s, the group is considered to be one of the most important and influential to hail from the area -- as their garage rock sound was copied numerous times over, as well as the snotty vocals of their singer, Mark Arm.
Born Mark Mclaughlin, and hailing from just outside Seattle, WA, he eventually renamed himself Mark Arm and became a major fan of such punk outfits as The Dickies and Flipper, as well as such new wavers as Devo. Naturally, Arm began attending regional shows, including a local performance by T.s.o.l. in 1982, at which he met both future bandmate/Mudhoney guitarist Steve Turner and future Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil. The same year, Arm formed his first serious band, Mr. Epp And The Calculations, which apart from a compilation appearance and a 7" EP (Of Course I'm Happy, WhyNULL) failed to issue a full-length, and broke up by early 1984.
