BAND OF THE WEEK: The Melvins
Current Members: Dale Crover,Buzz Osborne (King Buzzo), Stephen Shane Mcdonald
Type of Music: Drone metal, stoner rock, sludge metal, experimental in some cases, and aspects of punk involved
Year Formed: 1983
Live Level: OUTSTANDING. I personally saw them play at the Majestic Theater in Detroit Michigan with Napalm Death and Melt Banana on 4/20. If you want slight moshing, lots of headbanging, and stoner metal, this is the place for you. Plus, they are just bada*** musicians to watch in their element.
As for music to check out, a great place to start would be the album Houdini, then to make your way through Stoner Witch, and at some point reach Gluey Porch Treatments. Below you can check out a couple of their more well known tracks.
Night Goat: Houdini
Revolve: Stoner Witch
