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.

Hole's Live Through This. Available here on LP and CD.

This is the second studio album by alternative rock band Hole. The title is derived from a quote in the film 'Gone With The Wind.' Considered a contemporary classic, this record was included in Rolling Stone Magazine's list of '500 Greatest Albums Of All Time.' Features production by Sean Slade and Paul Q Kolderie with mixing by Scott Litt and J Mascis. This whole album is filled with scathing fury, mostly directed at the impossible situation that confronts women when they are asked to be both wild sources of pleasure and unblemished mother figures. Live Through This uses the same recipe of punk and metal wrapped around pop melodies that made Nirvana so captivating, but Hole uses the methodology in a more conventional manner. The metal ingredient tends to dominate, perhaps because it's the simplest to master, and too often the album resembles early Heart or late Joan Jett—particularly when Courtney Love opens up with her big, wailing voice. Love externalizes her anger, blaming all her problems on the rest of the world. Self-confrontation makes for far more interesting songs.
