Music: The Melvins, hot damn they are good

 



These dudes have been around forever. I remember hearing their name somewhere but never listened. Finally randomly did... I think Youtube had something. And then I pull 'em up on Spotify and can't find a bad song. Crazy. And they are like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard releasing a TON of stuff all the time. Love it. 

A couple of albums to get started on, are some heavy sounding stuff in the early 90s that sound very grungy... and apparently they were huge influences on the popular grunge rock 90s dudes anyway. Nirvana, etc. 

Example: Houdini album in 1993.

UPDATE Feb 2024: Saw interview with Sludgemetal guys like Pantera, all saying the Melvins in the early 1980s is what got them to go that slow heavy sound way.
