Oh, for joy to learn that new Melvins material is on the way! It’s good to hear Buzz Osborne bellow his way through another set of grinding material with all the same raw forcefulness as he did years ago. It kind of blew my mind when it was brought to my attention that the band (amidst its numerous iterations) is about to hit the 25-year mark.

Prior to the Melvins' eardrum-shattering and patriotically inspiring performance at the Echoplex, Buzz Osborne was kind enough to share his thoughts on the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, the digital revolution, and the potential for "peculiar" art in today's world. Video by Bob Thompson for LAist

The Melvins have been around for over two decades and have influenced plenty of hard-rock acts in that period, either directly, or indirectly.

As useful as they are at times, assumptions can lead one astray when divining the nature of any creative art, particularly that of an underground rock band.

The Melvins are twisted. Always have been, always will be. Perhaps the best example of Buzz Osborne and Dale Crover's bizarre sense of humor...
