Every day of this summer we go back to the same summer date somewhere in history

25 June 2026


Pulse Magazine July, 1996 📸Karen Mason

Grunge legends SCREAMING TREES (1984-2000) fronted by the late great baritone
vocalist Mark Lanegan (1964-2022) released their illustrious 7th and final LP, titled
DUST on 25 June 1996, today 30 years ago.

Kerrang Magazine selected Dust as the best album of 1996. The band toured behind
Dust for nearly two years with former Kyuss and future Queens of the Stone Age frontman
JOSH HOMME serving as a touring guitarist.

UNCUT Magazine said in retrospect: “It sounded – and still sounds – like the perfect evolution of grunge, consciously realigning that upstart music with the classic rock and psychedelia which had preceded it.”
