M E L V I N S


What can i say about this one....The Melvins are an American sludge metal band that usually perform as a power trio. Singer/guitarist Buzz Osborne (aka "King Buzzo") and drummer Dale Crover are constant members, but the band has seen several bass guitarists and have performed as a four piece with two drummers. They have occasionally added a guest or second guitarist for live performances. They are considered one of the godfathers of grunge music, influencing many of the Seattle grunge bands.
The band was named after a grocery clerk at a Thriftway in Montesano, Washington where Osborne also worked as a clerk."Melvin" was greatly despised by other employees, and the band's members felt it to be an appropriately ridiculous name.
