We Reach – The Music of the Melvins – Review

March 17, 2006

The bands here lean on the whomp! Crunch! Grrr!, eng? Crunch! side of things; and it works as a piece.

Jello Biafra with the Melvins – Sieg Howdy! – Review

March 17, 2006

Funny how normative-rockist-duhish this is. Like the riff from Kiss’ “God of Thunder” or Deep Purple’s “Highway Star” hijacked by Rammstein and Jello-ized.

Melvins – 26 Songs – Review

October 1, 2003

Recorded in 1986, it shows the band at its most heavy and least experimental. For fans who’ve tired of the band’s increasingly experimental and spotty output.

Melvins – Salad of a Thousand Delights – Review

July 23, 2003

A DVD reissue of a damn-near-impossible-to-find VHS release. This one captures The Melvins in a tiny ass club in Olympia in 1991.

June 4, 2001

It’s Troma, so unless you rent only from Blockbuster, you know this is some sexy, gross, weird and wild shit. Get this soundtrack cuz every band is a someone.

Melvins – The Crybaby – Review

Runnin’ On Fumes! – The Gearhead Magazine Singles Compilation – Review

September 1, 2000

Gearhead usedta give away split singles with the magazine. Good records, with good bands playin’ good songs. They’ve collected all ten of the things here.

Cinema Beer Belly – Review

January 1, 2000
