This is a 7 inch compilation from C/Z Records. “Teriyaki Asthma” contains four songs by Seattle area artists, but I don’t think it was nearly as popular, or written about, as another C/Z compilation called “Deep Six.” The latter came out a couple years earlier, was a full LP, and had songs from Soundgarden and other notable area bands.

The Nirvana track is pre-Grohl and it’s more punked out than most Nirvana fans would be used to. Helios Creed’s cut is a virtually instrumental, acidic, lead guitar noodlefest, that gets boring before it’s over. The song by Yeast is just silly. And Coffin Break contribute a solid rocker that is by far the most interesting piece here.
