The Melvins are a prolific rock/metal band formed in 1983 in Montesano, WA. They have had a rotating cast of more than 10 bass players and have released over 20 studio albums throughout their 40-year career. Their current bassist is Trevor Dunn. The band performs under the name "Melvins Lite" with Trevor Dunn on stand-up bass and under the name "Melvins 1983" with Dale on bass instead of drums.

The core members of the Melvins are Buzz Osborne (guitar/lead vocals) and Dale Crover (drums/vocals). The band was originally based in Montesano, WA before relocating to San Francisco, CA in 1988 and eventually settling in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley.

The name "Melvins" came from a grocery clerk at the Thriftway in Montesano where Buzz Osborne worked. They chose this name as it was an appropriately ridiculous name that referred to the most hated fellow employee at the store.

The true gods of the stoner underground music, The Melvins, released their album Stoner Witch in 1994. The album is one of their most successful efforts and an album where their musical capacities can be heard in thee depth, powerful and experimental sounds. It melds the sound of their earlier records with some ambient and hardcore influenced tracks. The monster anthem Revolve is a true masterpiece that breathes the southern rock and got a handful of well crafted riffs. Another epic track and one of the best recordings by The Melvins is At the Stake. The droning riffs and bass / cymbal driven sounds are mind-blowing and it’s full of fantastic changes. Queen is a much more radio friendly approach, but even in this song you’ll feel the traditional Melvins sound.
