Nina Gordon

Nina Gordon is a reminder that the alternative boom of the nineties had a melodic heart, not just distortion. As a co-founder of Veruca Salt she wrote singles like Seether and Volcano Girls that paired hooks sweet enough to hum with guitars sharp enough to draw blood. In a scene that often skewed loud and male, her songwriting instinct cut through and still sounds fresh. I have a soft spot for writers who can land a real melody under a wall of noise, and her later, gentler solo work only confirms that the gift was always the song itself.
