Melvins
The Melvins, led by the inimitable Buzz Osborne and powerhouse drummer Dale Crover, are one of the most prolific and influential bands in heavy music history, having helped birth both grunge and sludge metal from their origins in Montesano, Washington. Their early work directly influenced Nirvana, Soundgarden, and the entire Pacific Northwest heavy scene, while their restless experimentation across 30+ studio albums has touched on everything from drone metal to punk rock to noise pop. Defiantly uncommercial yet universally respected, the Melvins exist as a singular, irreducible force in underground music.
