Biography
Simply calling the Melvins the godfathers of Northwest grunge shorts
them on many s; their beauty, brutality, and enormous palette
for experimentation and forward-thinking has never stalled out. It's no
wonder they were a handful for Atlantic Records in the mid 90's, but
thankfully their post-majors career sees the Melvins invigorated and
making some of their awesomest sounds on stage and in studio. Their
latest release "Chicken Switch" (Ipecac) finds them remixed by the
likes of Merzbow, Eye, Sunroof, Christoph Heeman, Matmos and more. (-Brian Turner / WFMU)
