Mother Love Bone was an American rock band that formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1987. The band was active up until 1990. Frontman Andrew Wood's charisma and songwriting helped to catapult the group to the top of the burgeoning Seattle music scene at the time. Wood died shortly before the scheduled release of the band's debut album Apple, resulting in the breakup of the band. The album was released a few months later, though many recollections of demos, b-sides, and live performances were released and given to the general public as well.
As well as being influential to grunge, they are also considered early pioneers in the alternative metal genre. After Wood's death, the band's remaining members scattered to other projects, with guitarist Stone Gossard and bassist Jeff Ament forming Pearl Jam as the most notable example.
