The band is fronted by vocalist/songwriter and rhythm guitarist Courtney Love, who co-founded Hole with former songwriter/lead guitarist Eric Erlandson. Hole achieved considerable commercial and critical success throughout the 1990s.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band made a splash in the underground rock scene in 1991 with their debut album, Pretty on the Inside, which was musically and lyrically abrasive, noted for its predominant punk and noise rock influence. Their second studio album, Live Through This (1994), which featured a more streamlined and grunge-oriented sound, received vast critical accolades upon release and has been regarded as one of the greatest albums of all time, as well as the group's most notable work.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the band progressed into the later 1990s, they incorporated elements of pop rock into their sound; the band's third album, Celebrity Skin (1998), fused hard rock with various pop elements, contrasting to their rougher punk rock-oriented past. Celebrity Skin went on to be the band's most commercially successful album, garnering them immense critical attention as well as several Grammy nominations.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2009, seven years after disbanding in 2002, Love announced she was reforming Hole with former Larrikin Love guitarist Micko Larkin. Erlandson, however, stated that no reunion could take place contractually without mutual involvement between Love and Erlandson. On January 1, 2010, a website promoting Hole's latest release, Nobody's Daughter, was launched, with links to various social media pages including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and MySpace. The album was released on April 27, 2010.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Hole","playStationPath":"/stations/113323805/play","stationId":113323805,"bioPath":"/music/Hole/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Gossip","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/468/4687eee095e4e348c7fef66ee6cc5650_md.jpg","artistName":"Gossip","artistId":2315,"station_id":113276380},{"musicPath":"/music/Skunk+Anansie","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/914/914b04bfab1a7324fe0124f1e2b6962d_md.jpg","artistName":"Skunk Anansie","artistId":8234,"station_id":113284164},{"musicPath":"/music/Malfunkshun","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/513/513bc2f277e69f39fb05d55193bed267_md.jpg","artistName":"Malfunkshun","artistId":115681,"station_id":282789359},{"musicPath":"/music/Daisy+Chainsaw","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/9cd/9cd013332c8bfb0f3a99c90e3e508aab_md.jpg","artistName":"Daisy Chainsaw","artistId":1371,"station_id":113487937},{"musicPath":"/music/Luscious+Jackson","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/16c/16ce93bf3276e9155f3f8d9ea780893b_md.jpg","artistName":"Luscious Jackson","artistId":513,"station_id":113333268},{"musicPath":"/music/Courtney+Love","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a2e/a2ead554b9322c9f2cd6028f49486e3b_md.jpg","artistName":"Courtney Love","artistId":10182,"station_id":113264506},{"musicPath":"/music/Placebo","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d58/d58db8966456f14e1f097882be90075a_md.jpg","artistName":"Placebo","artistId":1813,"station_id":113274206},{"musicPath":"/music/Republica","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f56/f5697bb50e70f2425f190b644a9cdaee_md.jpg","artistName":"Republica","artistId":100694,"station_id":280763190},{"musicPath":"/music/Soul+Asylum","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/8ac/8acd736223f2acd293cb9d568fbcf75f_md.jpg","artistName":"Soul Asylum","artistId":684,"station_id":113268393},{"musicPath":"/music/Skin+Yard","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/517/5178a218297f2f35a17748b2ce4f27e7_md.jpg","artistName":"Skin Yard","artistId":381177,"station_id":396381031},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Sugarcubes","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/24f/24f2e1fc8c530194da7cc169cdfdd2a6_md.jpg","artistName":"The Sugarcubes","artistId":1895,"station_id":118860285},{"musicPath":"/music/Yeah+Yeah+Yeahs","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/53c/53ce23105464216dbfeb3d44981171c8_md.jpg","artistName":"Yeah Yeah Yeahs","artistId":1628,"station_id":113269588},{"musicPath":"/music/Chris+Cornell","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/133/133179f365d9f4c8b26dc4de9a1b6000_md.jpg","artistName":"Chris Cornell","artistId":1837,"station_id":113384109},{"musicPath":"/music/Alanis+Morissette","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/258/258d0bc205f7164ce9d03e7e45bf6bec_md.jpg","artistName":"Alanis Morissette","artistId":50,"station_id":113262285},{"musicPath":"/music/R+E+M+","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/39e/39ee340fd8b4ae791585a7c918846a92_md.jpg","artistName":"R.E.M.","artistId":627,"station_id":113262407},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Donnas","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/805/8050a69bee8a1c6f0517916c14469913_md.jpg","artistName":"The Donnas","artistId":1613,"station_id":113265813},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Cranberries","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/70f/70ff32cb0d01db06460f5b45cd0ed006_md.jpg","artistName":"The Cranberries","artistId":2300,"station_id":113262021},{"musicPath":"/music/4+Non+Blondes","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/36f/36f824489d36a923c778bc32b4d09f76_md.jpg","artistName":"4 Non Blondes","artistId":9987,"station_id":113268815}]}
