10 Minute Warning emerged from Seattle, Washington, as pioneers in the evolution of punk into a unique, heavier sound that would lay the groundwork for the grunge movement. Known for their innovative approach to punk music, they slowed down the frenetic pace of punk, infusing it with a heavier, more ominous tone. This distinctive style not only set them apart in the local scene but also influenced emerging grunge bands such as Green River and Mother Love Bone. Despite disbanding in 1984, their musical legacy continues to resonate, marking them as key contributors to the development of a sound that defined an era.
