Hark! A new supergroup hath risen, featuring members of grunge-era innovators [Nirvana](https://exclaim.ca/artists/nirvana),
[Soundgarden](https://exclaim.ca/artists/soundgarden), and [Pearl Jam](https://exclaim.ca/artists/pearl_jam).

Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic, Soundgarden’s Kim Thayil and Matt Cameron (who’s
also been drumming for Pearl Jam since 1998), D.C. hardcore outfit Void guitarist
Bubba Dupree, as well as Giants in the Trees vocalists Jennifer Johnson and Jillian
Raye, have joined forces as [3rd Secret](https://exclaim.ca/artists/3rd_secret).

The band surprise-released its debut self-titled album yesterday. The album was 
recorded in collaboration with fellow grunge musician and Sub Pop associate **Jack
Endino**. True to form, 3rd Secret recently made its live debut with a secret show
at Seattle’s Museum of Pop Culture.

In February, Novoselic shared that he was working on a “secret” album? It wasn’t
his first secret — it was 3rd.

We might be staring down the barrel of a grunge renaissance, given how a Nirvana
classic recently made its Hot 100 debut thanks to _The Batman,_ and **Kurt Cobain**‘
s final days are set to be dramatized in a new opera.

Meanwhile, Cameron comes to Canada this fall with some newly rescheduled Pearl Jam
tour dates; **Billy Corgan** would not want you to forget how much Smashing Pumpkins
influenced both bands, which is admitted pretty audible on the 3rd Secret record.

Stream the supergroup’s 11-track debut below, though a news bulletin posted to their
[website](http://3rdsecret.com/) says the album is still in the process of being
uploaded to all streaming platforms.
