8 Incredible 1990s Bands That Are Still Killing It

The 1990s. What a time to be alive! Between flannel shirts, Titanic in your VHS and F.R.I.E.N.D.S on repeat, the decade is flush with iconography but is widely remembered for the quality of its music. Alternative music was set alright by the wildfire that was Nirvana’s Nevermind and rock was never the same again. Between What’s The Story Morning Glory and The Fat Of The Land was a whole world of exciting and unique albums, and the bands creating them were just as striking.

Unfortunately, with a decade so good follows disappointment, sadness and pain. Legends like Soundgarden's Chris Cornell or The Prodigy’s Keith Flint pass away, the mainstream moves on from rock and the bands we used to love lose their passion for creating music that speaks to them.

However a handful of bands endure: some have been on hiatus, some rode a rocky path, and others have been on a permanent high. Here are eight of the best bands from the 1990s that continue to prove that time ain't nothing but a construct, their peak is something they continue to define.

Faith No More didn’t have to go so hard on their return. Their contemporaries - the likes of System of a Down and Rage Against the Machine - returned from a long hiatus by continuing to peddle their classic material, too scared or uninspired to release new music. But Faith No More returned like it was 1999 all over again.

The band released the highly anticipated Sol Invictus in 2015 knowing the pressures of adding to an almost perfect back catalogue of material. The 18 year break that the funk rock hybrid masters took between album releases served to only make the record more impressive. Time may be a daunting thing to face when returning from hiatus, but when you have the swagger of Faith No More, it’s like you never left.
