I haven't completed the feature for the last 2 weeks, because both me and Andrei have been kept busy with some nasty exams, fact which could be clearly seen by the lack of activity on the blog. We're both finished with them (we've passed, thank you!) and from now on we'll get back to our normal schedule. Anyway, to start off the week we've got two great artists. First up is Beck with his latest full length studio effort, Mondern Guilt , a '60 themed, psychedelic influenced album, that shows a new side to [...]

Since I'm apparently the resident old fart here at IA, I decided it was only fitting that I take a stab at reviewing the new track by Melvins . Truth be told, I never really listened to much of their music back when it first came out, but since some of our erstwhile writers weren't even born when their first LP dropped, what can you do? To bring you up-to-speed, Melvins largely are considered one of the first, true grunge bands. Kurt Cobain was from the same town of Aberdeen and even allegedly auditioned to join the [...]

[From Wikipedia.com] Buzz Osborne (b. 1964), also known as King Buzzo, (birth name Roger Osborne) is the guitarist/vocalist/songwriter and technically the only remaining founding member of The Melvins. (Drummer Dale Crover is often regarded as a founding member, but he joined after the band was formed, though before they had yet recorded an album.) Buzz Osborne is also a founding member/guitarist for both Fantômas and Venomous Concept. Jake Sprecher of Synthesis Magazine speaks to Buzz about the new album Nude With Boots, and what 25 years of Melvins can do to a [...]
THE MELVINS have announced they will be putting out a new record on July 8 through Ipecac Recordings. The eleven-track opus, Nude With Boots was recorded in January 2008 in Los Angeles. The lineup is, once again, founding member King Buzzo, almost-founding-member Dale Crover, and drummer Jared Warren and bassist Coady Willis also of BIG [...]
Legendary rockers the Melvins are gearing up for what promises to be a busy summer. The band, which currently currently consists of original members Buzz Osborne and Dale Crover along with Jared Warren and Coady Willis of Big Business , will release a new studio album, entitled Nude With Boots , on July 8 via Ipecac Recordings . This will be accompanied with the release of the Live From London 2006 DVD, due out on August 26. In addition [...]

It's awesome news that these Kiwis are coming back so soon, but even better news (for me) is that I'll get to see them at the

MP3: Melvins - Nude With Boots I don't know what happened between recordings, but if "Nude With Boots", the title track released earlier this week from the upcoming Melvins lp is any indication, we're in for something different from the band. Not that it's shocking: these duders change it up in some way all the time, and since taking Big Business into camp with (A) Senile Animal in 2006 it's only gotten [...]
