Those badass motherfuckers known as the Melvins are gearing up for their June 5 release, Freak Puke, via Ipecac Records. Dubbed “Melvins Lite,” the group sees core Melv-heads Buzz Osbourne and Dale Crover join forces with Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, and Fantômas). If it’s Melvins heavy and the sexiness of the word “free” that you crave, then you’ll want to check out their five-song EP The Bulls & the Bees that’s been released via Scion A/V.
However, the real beauty here is that all of the Melvins will come together in unity and support the cause (themselves and their awesomeness), this April for a US tour. Check the dates after the tracklisting.
