Melvins + Spotlights

Having rolled past their 30th anniversary a handful of years back, Melvins show no signs of slowing down. The dynamic alt-metal outfit is pushing harder than ever (as evidenced by its gig opening for Tool in June in San Bernardino, California). With last year's releases—an LP, Basses Loaded, and a long-lost collaboration album, Three Men and a Baby—the crew has a ton of fresh material to air out at their infamously awe-inspiring shows, not to mention a newie, A Walk with Love and Death, released in July on Ipecac. Expect to hear from across the band's career, as well as some seriously sludgy covers.
