Hole

Hole is an American alternative rock band that is fronted by singer-songwriter Courtney Love who co-founded Hole with Eric Erlandson. Hole achieved considerable commercial and critical success throughout the 1990s, initially releasing singles through independent labels in L.A. and debuting with their caustic noise rock-influenced Pretty on the Inside, and later gaining near-unanimous critical acclaim with their 1994 album Live Through This.

Hole has released four studio albums, one compilation album, three extended plays, and sixteen singles.

They released their debut studio album, Pretty on the Inside, in August 1991 and the album's lead single, "Teenage Whore", peaked at number 1 in the UK Indie Chart.

Hole released its major label debut Live Through This in April 1994 which was released a week after the death of Love's husband, Kurt Cobain, and two months prior to the death of bassist Kristen Pfaff.

In 1998, the band released its third studio album, Celebrity Skin, which debuted at number 9 on the Billboard 200. The band disbanded in May 2002. Erlandson and Love released a new Hole album, Nobody's Daughter, in April 2010 and the band toured Europe and North America in support of the record.

Hole's studio albums have sold over 3 million copies in the United States. Live Through This and Celebrity Skin have been certified platinum in the United States and Canada, and certified gold in Australia.
