Devoluton Interviews King Buzzo

The UK’s Devolution Magazine has a great interview with Buzz Osborne of Melvins, who explains the origins of the band’s upcoming new album Thunderball. The album is billed as the product of Melvins 1983, an incarnation of the band that utilizes original drummer Mike Dillard. The riff-heavy Thunderball also includes electronic artists Void Manes and Ni-Maitres.
