Jack Endino is a music producer and musician based in Seattle. Long associated with Seattle label Sub Pop and the grunge movement, Endino worked on seminal albums from bands such as Mudhoney, Soundgarden, and Nirvana. Endino has maintained a down-to-earth and humorous website since 1997, and currently manages a studio in Seattle called Soundhouse Recording.

Early career

In 1985, Endino and Daniel House started the influential grunge band Skin Yard. Though originally a drummer, Endino played guitar and Matt Cameron played drums until he left for Soundgarden. In 1986, Skin Yard contributed two songs to C/Z Records' legendary grunge compilation "Deep Six".

In July of 1986, Endino left his basement recording studio to found Reciprocal Recording with Chris Hanzsek, the "Deep Six" sound engineer, where he used his self-taught recording skills to produce, engineer, and mix Skin Yard's 1987 debut album "Skin Yard". His skill and low fees meant that he was soon an engineer of choice for up-and-coming Seattle grunge bands, and in 1988, he recorded Nirvana's debut album "Bleach" in a mere 30 hours for $606.17, using an 8-track. [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:k9fuxqq5ldfe~T1 allmusic.com] The album did well in the underground, and after the success of "Nevermind" in 1990 it went platinum.

After Reciprocal Recording closed in July of 1991, Endino continued as a freelance producer and engineer. [http://www.richieunterberger.com/endino.html Interview] He appeared in the 1996 grunge documentary Hype!, where he's humorously referred to as "the godfather of grunge."

Recording and producing work

:"See Jack Endino's recording discography for a chronological list of Endino's recording and production work"Endino is known for his stripped down recording practices and his dislike of 'over-producing' music with effects and remastering. Largely because of the success of albums like Soundgarden's "Screaming Life" and Nirvana's "Bleach" in the mainstream, the resulting raw, unpolished sound is still seen as a defining characteristic of the grunge movement.

In the Pacific Northwest, he's done work for underground legends like Green River, Screaming Trees, L7, The Gits, Gruntruck, Gas Huffer, 7 Year Bitch, The Fartz, The Supersuckers, the thrashcore band The Accüsed, and ZEKE. He continues to work with influential underground bands, and in 2007 he recorded an album with the proto-grunge band Flipper. Other projects have included the bands High on Fire, Hot Hot Heat, DragStrip Riot, Lucid Nation, and Valient Thorr.

Internationally, Endino is well known for his work with the Brazilian super-band Titãs, who he’s recorded since 1993. He also produced two albums by the British rockers Winnebago Deal, and worked with Irish band Therapy?, French punk rockers Burning Heads, and the Australian band Spiderbait.

As an artist

Endino released his first solo album, "Angle of Attack", in 1989. Skin Yard disbanded in 1992, and he released a second solo album, "Endino's Earthworm", in 1993. In October, 2005 he released his third solo album, "Permanent Fatal Error". He is currently second guitarist in the band Kandi Coded, which also features Volcom snowboarding pro Jamie Lynn.
