Probably yeah, they signed to Sub Pop in 1989 when grunge was taking off and released 2 albums and an EP for them, and they were also the first band from outside the North-West to sign for them. I wouldn't really class them as grunge though, but they were a hard band to categorise. People just lumped them in with grunge because they were signed to Sub Pop for a time and sounded a bit similar to Pearl Jam and Screaming Trees. In my view they were just kickass rock band around during the grunge era.
