Bundle of Hiss was a grunge ensemble originating in 1980 from Stanwood, Washington. The founding lineup included future Tad bassist Kurt Danielson, guitarist Jeff Hopper, vocalist Kurt Schonberg, and drummer Russ Bartlett.
History
Following the demo recordings, Schonberg exited the group and Bartlett transitioned to lead vocals. After several drummer changes, the band ultimately recruited Dan Peters. Jeff Hopper left the band and was succeeded by Jamie Lane, who had crossed paths with Danielson at the University of Washington.
In 1986, Bartlett departed to pursue a solo path, prompting Lane to assume both vocal and guitar responsibilities. The group circulated demo tapes during performances and shared them with fellow Seattle musicians such as Soundgarden, Mudhoney, and Melvins. The band dissolved in 1988. Subsequently, Danielson established Tad alongside former drummer Tad Doyle. Peters briefly played with the local band Feast before co-founding Mudhoney with Mark Arm and Steve Turner. In 2000, Loveless Records released a compilation of their demo recordings titled Sessions: 1986-1988.
