Come on Down is the debut EP by the grunge band Green River, released on Homestead Records in 1985.

Overview

Cited by many as being the very first grunge record, Come on Down pre-dated both the legendary C/Z Records compilation Deep Six and the Melvins' debut album. This record also marks Green River's only record with original guitarist Steve Turner (later of Mudhoney).

In the 1996 grunge documentary Hype!, Leighton Beezer plays the main riff of the title track "Come On Down", to illustrate the minor differences between punk and early grunge.
