And the twelve inch split series. Volumes one and two are with the U-Men and the Cows. The motherfucking Cows!

I need to check some Cows out.

As great a drummer as Coady Willis is, I'm pretty jazzed about the idea of a new Melvins record with only Dale playing.

are they releasing something new?

See the last page.

why melvins lite???

that's the name they've adopted when playing as a 3-piece with Trevor Dunn. the 4-piece version of the band with the guys from Big Business is still alive as well.

anybody listening to the new Melvins EP?

the first two tracks and the last one are fairly standard Melvins fare but the combo of Friends Before Larry and A Really Long Wait is exactly what i want to see the Melvins doing more of. Structureless jams and ambient soundscapes. The latter song actually reminds me somewhat of GYBE with vocals. I'm really enjoying those two right now.

I've listened to it several times. Definitely enjoyed it. I actually managed to secure a free physical copy of this from Scion A/V, which should arrive in the mail shortly...limited pressing!

I'm curious about this "Melvins Lite" thing. If I had to guess, I would say that it'll lean towards their more direct sounding stuff.

I caught the "lite" incarnation this weekend. It was pretty awesome, they played in this real shithole of a basement for about 100 people.

Hammerhead, Gay Witch Abortion, and Seawhores opened.

Hammerhead ruled.

i wont forget the show i saw from the melvins...i think it was 2009, it was a show for 200, 300 people...amazing.
Buzz was just from another dimension...and those drums fuuuck!!!
one of the best and weird shows ever.

ok so the verdict is that freak nuke is good? after a senile animal I never got into any of their new stuff...

Im diggin the bride screamed murder....great riffs.

Buzz is writing in spin.com about their insane 51 shows in 51 dates tour, and its really funny.

Freak Puke is all kinds of amazing, Dale steals the record.
