1983

Melvins

A raw, four-track blast of primitive sludge and hardcore punk. Recorded by the original 1983 lineup, it sounds like a basement tape from a lost era.

It's the Melvins playing like they're teenagers in a garage again, and it's loud as hell.

A high-energy, primitive explosion of punk aggression and garage-rock grit.
