King Buzzo

Melvins

Thick sludge riffs meet Dave Grohl's powerhouse drumming. A bizarre, heavy, and surprisingly melodic parody of the 1978 KISS solo albums.

It’s the Melvins doing KISS, but with Dave Grohl on drums and way more sludge.

A heavy, slightly deranged mix of mythic storytelling and mundane tour reality.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the heavy, mid-tempo stomp of Isabella into the more melodic, almost anthemic vocal delivery of the chorus.
The surreal, documentary-style spoken word narrative on Skeeter that grounds the EP's experimentalism in a mundane tour story.
The interplay between the thick, distorted guitar layers and the unmistakable, high-velocity drum fills provided by Dave Grohl on Porg.
