National Album Day is the annual event celebrating the art of the album, and this year we're taking a look back across the best of the 90s.

National Album Day 2023

Hole is an American alternative rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1989. Led by frontwoman Courtney Love, the band gained significant popularity and critical acclaim throughout the 1990s. Known for their raw and powerful sound, Hole's music often explored themes of feminism, addiction, and personal struggle. With hits like "Doll Parts" and "Celebrity Skin," they became one of the most influential bands of the era. Despite various lineup changes over the years, Hole's impact on alternative rock remains undeniable.

Throughout their career, Hole released four studio albums that showcased their unique blend of punk energy and melodic sensibility. Their debut album "Pretty on the Inside" (1991) established them as a force to be reckoned with in the underground music scene. It was followed by "Live Through This" (1994), which received widespread critical acclaim and solidified their place in mainstream rock.

Courtney Love's fierce vocals and provocative lyrics were central to Hole's appeal. Her unapologetic approach to songwriting resonated with fans around the world. Despite facing numerous challenges both personally and professionally, Love continued to create music that pushed boundaries.

Rough Trade Essential

Live Through This is the second studio album by Hole. It was originally released by DGC Records on April 12, 1994, just four days after frontwoman Courtney Love's husband, Kurt Cobain, was found dead in their home. It was Hole's only album to feature bassist Kristen Pfaff before her death in June 1994. Recorded in October 1993, the album marked a divergence from the band's unpolished hardcore aesthetics to more refined melodics and song structure, and features production by Sean Slade and Paul Q. Kolderie, with mixing by Scott Litt and J Mascis. The album's lyrics and packaging reflect Love's preoccupation with beauty, and its songs contain repeated motifs of milk, motherhood, anti-elitism, and violence against women.
