The Melvins - Nude With Boots

Scott, from The Rock Dose and Metal Martyr, was awesome enough to send me this about the new Melvins album, which comes out today.

Grunge forefathers and sludge-birthing wildmen The Melvins are set to release their nineteenth (!) record. Nude With Boots continues in the LA-based band’s tradition of matching mega-huge riffs with walls of rhythm and electr-fried skuzz. Last week the band premiered the triumphant Boots via their Myspace page. In case you missed it, you can head over to their Last.fm page or to AOL Spinner to hear this monster in full.

In other Melvins news, the band has expanded their previously announced tour with Big Business, stretching it throughout August with stops all over the map. Things kick off later this month at Amoeba in LA and come to a close a month and a half later down the block at the LA Historic State Park.

What The Press Is Saying About Nude With Boots:

“…among the best (and catchiest) songs they have written during their quarter-decade project in hard-rock deconstruction, summoning and scrambling Zeppelin, Saint Vitus, late-’80s thrash, and…vintage Melvins.” – Spin

“The Melvins-cum-Big Business attack has been alternately heavy and agile, slimy and gleaming, feeling fortified on every front.” – Pitchfork

“Melvins fans will love it. Classic rock fans won’t get it. Everyone else will let it float by. Don’t let that mistake be yours.” – Guitar Kult

I haven’t listened to the entire album yet, but from what I have heard, it’s pretty awesome. The tracks are very classic rock sounding, but have that little Melvins touch. Defiantly check it out.
