There was no indie scene in America that led to the grunge explosion. Those bands may have indie-cred, but their influences were BIG stadium rock.

My understanding (obviously second hand from the UK music press) was that there was a reasonable size US  alternative indie scene pre grunge with labels like SST and the hardcore bands like Black Flag, Minor Threat & the Germs which then mutated into stuff like Sonic Youth, Husker Du, Dinosaur Jnr , Soul Asylum etc etc. (just watch any of Dave Grohls many documentaries) Any US band will have stadium rock influences   as that what most teenagers then grew up with - but the punkier/rockier indie bands definitely paved the way for grunge.

Though the strange thing was that-  due to the UK weekly music press - it was probably better covered here than in the states.

Neil Young is generally accepted as the father of grunge.  See the following article that randomly popped up as I googled: 'Neil Young Father Grunge':

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/flashback-neil-young-emerges-as-the-godfather-of-grunge-in-1991-20150303

FYI - Weld is by far the best live album I have ever heard.  Go get it.  Now.

Jez, ever read Luke Haines book about the 90's music scene, 'Bad Vibes'?  Well worth a read.

Blaggers ITA were one of my faves from those days, but seeing as the singer once battered a music journalist (not that I'm excusing it) I can see why they didn't make that article...

Blimey, Lush are reforming, big show at London Roundhouse next May with the possibility of warm-up shows!   :D

What the heck, everyone else from the 90's is reforming, why not them?

A brilliantly mellow chill out tune here, Desire Lines...

That song "Concept" by Teenage Funclub is really awesome, MR. Whole album (Bandwagonesque) is a diamond.
It always brings a lot of golden memories.  :)

Just found this one after many years of never hearing it, 'Your Woman' by White Town, a one hit wonder and a tune I rather like, some guy who made a record with bedroom equipment, got to number one in the charts and then disappeared just as fast...

I was always rather fond of Lush, way back when, and they've reformed for gigs and have a new EP out shortly... here's the single, 'Out Of Control'... glad to have them back!

bought "bleach!" by nirvana on import cause we'd heard love buzz and thought it was awesome. loved mudhoney and big black. uk-wise pop will eat itself were awesome as were carter the unstoppable sex-machine. loved the sugarcubes and all those bands with cute blonde singers like the primitives. daisy chainsaw were even cuter and danielle dax is a goddess.
wow -floods of nostalgia! gonna have to dig some of that shit out and listen to it now.

Lotta love for Carter from various NMA folks... saw Justin at a Carter gig in Leeds a few years back!

Sorry to be Captain Pedantic, but Danielle Dax wasn't in Daisy Chainsaw, that was Katie Jane Garside... I can understand the mix-up though!

Many great bands mentioned there. Have to say, Daisy Chainsaw always reminded me about the Cranes! I used to think the singer was same in both bands but I see she's not.

Here's a Cranes song from 1994; Come This Far, from the album "Loved".
