More details have emerged regarding the Melvins‘ new album “Freak Puke” — which finds them performing as their ‘Melvins Lite‘ incarnation. As previously reported, the latest album will see the bands Buzz Osbourne and Dale Crover team up with bassist Trevor Dunn (Secret Chiefs 3, ex-Mr. Bungle).
According to band frontman/guitarist Buzz Osbourne:
“The Melvins have a long history of mixing up our line-ups and I think that’s what has kept us relevant for so long. Consider the Freak Puke record the fifth side of the four-sided Melvins‘ triangle.”
