Album
Tomorrow Hit Today
Tomorrow Hit Today is the fifth studio album by Seattle-born grunge band Mudhoney, released on 22 September 1998 by Reprise Records. It followed My Brother the Cow and turned out to be their last record for the label, and for any major label. It was also the final album to feature bassist Matt Lukin. The title nods back to "When Tomorrow Hits", a song from their self-titled debut.
The band keep hold of their grunge sound here, but a garage and blues streak runs through it more noticeably than before. Three singles came from it: "Night of the Hunted" as a limited 7", a promotional CD for "Ghost", and a radio-only CD-R for "This Is the Life". It was reissued on blue vinyl in 2018 for its 20th anniversary, and in 2020 it was included in the box set Real Low Vibe: Reprise Recordings 1992-1998.
