In October 1967 the band released its first album - a concept album produced by Blackwell titled The Story Of Simon Simopath. The band was signed by Island Records' founder Chris Blackwell in the era when he also signed the bands Traffic and Free. They produced a number of singles (notably Rainbow Chaser, Pentecost Hotel, and Tiny Goddess) for the fledgling Island Records label.

The band, consisted of two songwriter/performers - Greek-born Alex Spyropoulos and Irish-born Patrick Campbell-Lyons who met in London. The band was formed in the summer of 1967 in an era when melodic pop/rock music with baroque and chamber arrangements and instrumentation was highly-prized.

A year later, Sliver: The Best of the Box was released, a compilation of selected WTLO tracks, but with 3 new tracks including a track from the famous Fecal Matter demo. In 2004, the box set With the Lights Out, a collection of radio sessions, home demos, studio demos and outtakes, was released. Nirvana remains a consistent presence on radio stations worldwide. Since their debut, the band has sold more than fifty million albums worldwide, including more than ten million copies of Nevermind in the US alone. Eight years after Cobain's death, You Know You're Right, an unfinished demo that the band recorded two months prior to Cobain's death, topped radio playlists around the world. Nirvana's brief run ended with the suicide of Cobain in 1994, but the band's popularity expanded in the years that followed. It was later released and topped the charts in 1994. While Nirvana's mainstream popularity waned in the months following its release, their core audience cherished the band's dark interior, particularly after their 1993 performance on MTV Unplugged with the Meat Puppets, a band that Cobain had always idolised, performing with them the songs Oh, Me, Plateau and Lake of Fire. Cobain was uncomfortable with the attention, and placed his focus on the band's music, challenging the band's audience with their much more abrasive third studio album In Utero, considered to be a conscious attempt to shed their audience. As Nirvana's frontman, Cobain found himself referred to in the media as the spokesman of a generation, with Nirvana the flagship band of Generation X. After a brief stint as a four-piece in 1989 with the addition of second guitarist Jason Everman, followed soon after by the replacement of Channing on drums in 1990, the band found the lineup that would form the core of the group when they added former Scream drummer Dave Grohl. Nirvana's initial incarnation consisted of Kurt Cobain on guitar and vocals, bassist Krist Novoselic, and drummer Chad Channing.

Other Seattle grunge bands such as Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden also gained in popularity, and, as a result, alternative rock became a dominant genre on American and Canadian radio and music television during the early-to-mid '90s. The band formed in Aberdeen, Washington in 1987, and was part of the Seattle grunge scene of the late 80s.
