If you didn’t get a chance to catch The Melvins on their co-headlining tour with Napalm Death, fear not. The band that never stops will be making their way around Europe and the US this summer in support of their new album Basses Loaded.
The new album is a 12-track effort that features six bass players — Nirvana’s Krist Novoselic, Redd Kross’ Steve McDonald, Butthole Surfers’ J.D. Pinkus, Big Business’ Jared Warren, Mr. Bungle/Fantomas’ Trevor Dunn (aka Melvins Lite), and Melvins’ drummer Dale Crover who swaps the kit for bass.
Here’s their cover of The Beatles’ “I Want to Tell You.”
Basses Loaded comes out June 3rd through Ipecac.
