Andrew Wood

Wood and Hagar began jamming with Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament of Green River, which disbanded in 1988,^[3][10] performing, on occasion, as the cover band Lords of the Wasteland.^[2] Former Green River guitarist Bruce Fairweather was added to the lineup, while former 10 Minute Warning and Skin Yard drummer Greg Gilmore replaced Hagar, forming Mother Love Bone the same year.^[5]
The band soon signed a deal with PolyGram, and, through their own subsidiary label Stardog, issued a six-song EP, Shine, in 1989.^[3] John Book, of Allmusic, stated that the EP "contributed to the buzz about the Seattle music scene."^[11] The band spent the rest of the year touring, including shows supporting The Dogs D'Amour, and recording their debut album. With high expectations of the album, Wood checked himself into rehab due to his struggle with heroin addiction, hoping to get clean for the release of album, staying there for the remainder of the year.^[1][3]
In 1990, the band continued to play shows in Seattle, waiting for the release of their album, Apple.^[1]
