Free Music Notes for Mangled Demos From 1983
Free Music Review: Remember punk? It's back! In pog form.
Hit: 5 Stars
Up until now, the oldest stuff I've heard from the Melvins was their three or four tracks on the Deep Six compilation from 1985. Much of the content here is material uber fans have probably heard before in one form or another from various bootlegs, but maybe not these exact takes from these exact sessions. A few songs appear more than once, from different sessions. It's a mixed bag. The recording quality is usually surprisingly very good for 20+ year old demos, but there are a couple of live songs sprinkled in that sound like they were recorded on a walkman or ghetto blaster. There's also a couple of tracks of radio correspondent chatter and the guys in the band bickering over a hamburger or something. The final song is an instrumental that sounds ~exactly~ like Green Day circa 1990. I **** you not. If I had my copy of 39/Smooth with me right now, I could tell you which specific song it sounds like.
In any case, this is the Melvins when they were actually your average garden variety hardcore punk band, before Dale Crover joined. It's very cool to hear them before they found their niche and basically invented "grunge."
Mangled Demos From 1983 Poster
Recorded during the birth of 80's hardcore, the Melvins' Mangled Demos from 1983 will sit nicely next to your old Bad Brains and Corrosion of Conformity albums. There's some of that classic rockin' sludge we've grown to know and love (including a pre-Dale Crover version of "Set Me Straight"), but it's the fast, raw and hopeful ferocity of a time when hardcore was brewing, that really makes this release such a gem.
