  • Summary

  • Today, we’re talking with legendary drummer Dale Crover, best known for his work with The Melvins. Their unique blend of metal, punk, and experimental music helped shape the Grunge sound. In addition to The Melvins, Crover has worked with bands like Acid King, Altamont, Redd Kross, and most notably, Nirvana. Rolling Stone even named him the 69th greatest drummer of all time.

    But Dale Crover is more than just a great rock drummer—he’s also a solo artist, and he’s just released his third solo album, GLOSSOLALIA, out now via Joyful Noise Recordings (click here to order). The album features contributions from Tom Waits, Kim Thayil of Soundgarden, Ty Segall, and others.

    In this episode, I talk with Dale about the creative inspiration behind GLOSSOLALIA, how he assembled his impressive list of collaborators, how his songwriting process differs between solo work and The Melvins, his current Eurpoean tour opening for Redd Kross (click here for tickets), and what’s next for The Melvins.

    So, stick around for the interview, and afterward, I’ll play 'I Quit', a track from his new album.
