-'''Melvins''' is an American band formed in 1983 hailing from Montesano, Washington. They are highly regarded as a huge influence upon the [[sludge metal|sludge]] and [[drone metal|drone]] genres. The band's genre fluctuates from release to release, playing grunge, stoner rock, sludge, drone, hardcore influenced rock, or experimental elements. The band was named after a grocery clerk at the Thriftway in Montesano, Washington where Osborne served as clerk (and vandal). "Melvin" was the most-hated fellow employee and the band's members felt it to be an appropriately ridiculous name.
