Invisible Oranges Cheers Melvins’ Willful Unpredictability

In a review of a recent live show, Invisible Oranges compares Melvins to bandits. “Armed not with guns, but with riffs, odd time signatures, and four decades of willful unpredictability, they turned the venue into their killing field and the crowd into willing victims. Like the bad guys, the Melvins know exactly what they do best and don’t apologize to anyone left confounded. It’s in their nature to approach music from angles that feel both off-kilter and strangely direct.” Sick! Read more here.
