This week, we delve into the heavy-hitting history and defiant legacy of the Melvins, the Washington band that birthed the sludge of the Seattle sound. From their early days in Montesano to their legendary "trolling" of major labels, we explore how Buzz Osborne and Dale Crover influenced a generation while staying true to their weirdness. We'll uncover the truth behind the Houdini sessions with Kurt Cobain, the Hollywood connection of bassist Lori Black, and how they managed to survive the grunge explosion that consumed their peers.
