The earlier influences, I agree, Burma in particular. I can see what you're hearing with regard to Nirvana/Foo Fighters, but with Nirvana I think it's more a case of both bands looking to similar sources (after all, the Pixies taught Cobain half of what he knew about song structure.) and I can't see FF as a NRSK influence, since NRSK had three albums out before FF had released anything.
