Melvins 1983 Go Deep With Punknews

New Melvins album Thunderball is billed as being by Melvins 1983, which means the record features original drummer Mike Dillard – one of Buzz Osborne‘s lifelong best friends – rather than the legendary band’s regular skin-thumper Dale Crover. Punknews has an epic interview with Osborne and Dillard about their long history. Fans of the band – and friendship, in general – should check that out here.
