Amphetatmine Reptile Records recently posted a test press of the upcoming split release they're putting out with the Melvins & Flipper. Buzz talked about that and other things in an interesting interview with Coachella Valley Weekly. “We always have records. We’re recording all kinds of things. We have a split-EP with the Flipper guys coming out. We have an EP with a band from Sweden called ShitKid coming out soon. We have a Melvins project with me, Dale and the original drummer that we’re working on. I also have a solo acoustic album I’m finishing. We have another album that I can’t really let the cat out of the bag on that one yet that we’re working on. It’s a ton of stuff. I think in the last two months we’ve recorded 35 songs.” - Buzz

Melvins Redd Kross 2019

Details

Melvins are hitting Europe this summer, tickets go on sale March 8th!

UPDATE June 5th 2019: 

Dear Friends,

I regret to inform you that I have to cancel our upcoming European tour. I’ve been dealing with a back related injury and I’m unable to perform at this time.

I feel awful that I have to let you all down like this. I want to assure you that I’m working very hard to return 100% better! We will come back as soon as we can.

Thank you for understanding,

Dale Crover
