Timeline
they recorded a compilation of 16 songs by the legendary mid-1960's Seattle garage band The Sonics.
The album was released by Book Records.
Mark Arm (born Mark Thomas McLaughlin; February 21, 1962) is an American singer and songwriter, best known as the vocalist for the grunge band Mudhoney.
His former group, Green River, was one of the first grunge bands, along with Malfunkshun, Soundgarden, Skin Yard, the U-Men, and others.
He is also the manager of the Sub Pop warehouse and previously worked at Fantagraphics Books.
Arm was born February 21, 1962, at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, and was raised in Kirkland, Washington.
As a child, he was a member of Boy Scouts of America.
He graduated from Bellevue Christian High School in Bellevue, Washington.
Arm first entered the Seattle rock scene in 1980, when he formed a band while still in high school, called "Mr. Epp and the Calculations" with singer Jo Smitty, and Peter Wick, who wrote and recorded their first song,"The Pigeon in the Fountain bed," which caused local radio DJ Stephen Rabow to declare them, "The worst band in the world."
The band played its first show in 1981, opening for the band Student Nurse.
In 1982 they released a 7-inch EP entitled "Mohawk Man", produced by Johnny Rubato (of Rubato Records, a local used record shop for more than 30 years).
The next year they added a second guitarist, Steve Turner, and released a cassette described on the lyric sheet as a "combination of art and hardcore."
The cassette featured one side of live recordings and a flip-side of studio recordings and experimental sounds; a sonic amalgamy described in a 1984 issue of Revenge Against Boredom 'zine (produced by notable skateboarding historian Jocko Weyland ), as "45 or so minutes of Pillow Fights, Jokes, some songs, preachers' garbled talking. And you get to find out what you get if you give up your personality."
Mr. Epp and the Calculations also played with Ten Minute Warning and the Dead Kennedys at the Eagles Auditorium in April.
The band came to an end the following year.
After Mr. Epp and the Calculations ended, Mark Arm and Steve Turner (who had become close friends) joined the band Limp Richerds for a few weeks.
Green River released two EPs and a full length album before disbanding.
Steve Turner left the band to finish college, and Arm was forced to find a new band again.
After Turner returned from schooling, they resumed their Green River side project, The Thrown Ups.
The new band renamed themselves Mudhoney.
In 1985, Arm earned an English degree with an emphasis in creative writing from the University of Washington.
In 1988, Sub Pop released Mudhoney's first single, "Touch Me I'm Sick".
After extensive touring and an EP album, Mudhoney released their self-titled full length debut in 1989.
Their next album, Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge came out soon after, just before the explosion of grunge spearheaded by Nirvana's seminal Nevermind.
Arm released "The Freewheelin' Mark Arm", a solo single in 1990.
He was a singer and guitarist for the group Bloodloss and singer for the Seattle supergroup The Monkeywrench.
At the time, Sub Pop, their record label, was "on the verge of bankruptcy, having trouble paying its flagship band, severely delaying the release of the album to July 1991."
In 1992, they signed to a major record label, Reprise and released Piece of Cake.
The album did not sell well, due to a combination of the band's uncompromising sound and an oversaturation of the genre; according to Stephen Turner, the album references "how easily things had come to them...the songs were kinda half-baked... and Mark wasn't at his best."
Although they never achieved the fame of some of their contemporaries, Arm and Mudhoney have made significant contributions to grunge music.
He has also made guest appearances on several albums, most notably on Alice in Chains' 1992 EP Sap.
In 1998, he made an appearance on the motion picture soundtrack for the film Velvet Goldmine with Ron Asheton, Mike Watt, Thurston Moore, and Steve Shelley under the name Wylde Ratttz.
In 1999, he recorded the vocals for the song "I Need Somebody", a cover of the song by The Stooges, featured on Nebula's first album, To the Center.
In 2000, Arm, Turner, Peters, Scott McCaughey, Tom Price and Bill Henderson recorded the album "The New Original Sonic Sound" under the band name The New Strychnines.
Mudhoney is one of the few grunge bands that continue to release albums; in 2002 they released Since We've Become Translucent, Under a Billion Suns in 2005, The Lucky Ones followed in May 2008, Vanishing Point came in April 2013, Digital Garbage came out in September 2018 and, most recently, Plastic Eternity in 2023.
All of these releases have been on the Sub Pop record label.
In 2004, he toured with MC5, standing in for the late Rob Tyner on vocals.
