The Bulls & The Bees

[Idlehanz]

I like the G and J.  When I did a tiny bit of designing for some t shirts I didn't realize how important and cool different fonts were.

May I introduce you to the Atmosphere typeface?

That's the weirdest "g" I've ever seen.

I've been trying to decipher the hidden message for two days.  Then I read it letter by letter and realized it's just the alphabet.       Ha!

SCION A/V SET TO RELEASE NEW MELVINS EP, SCION A/V PRESENTS: THE BULLS & THE BEES, ON MAR. 13

Scion A/V Sponsoring Spring U.S. Tour



Feb. 23, Torrance, Calif. --  Scion A/V has partnered with the Melvins for an EP titled Scion A/V Presents: The Bulls & The Bees,  a five-song collection that marks the band's first original material since their 2010 album The Bride Screamed Murder.   The release will be available as a free download on Mar. 13 via Scion A/V's Facebook page (www.facebook.com/scionav) with "The War On Wisdom" streaming this Friday on Pitchfork.com.

The Melvins formed in 1983, kicking off what would be a seismic shift in heavy music and focusing the epicenter of modern music firmly on the Pacific Northwest for the next decade plus.  The band blended punk, metal, hard rock  to create a new subgenre that has been tagged with a variety of labels including sludge, grunge and doom and won a cult of fans that have yet to waiver some twenty-nine years into the band's career.  Buzz Osborne and Dale Crover have been the band's constants (Crover joined in 1984) with Big Business' Jared Warren and Coady Willis joining the band in 2006 for (A) Senile Animal. 

"The Melvins have remained such a consistent presence in heavy music," says Jeri Yoshizu, manager of sales promotions for Scion.  "It's an honor to have them create an original release for Scion A/V."

Osborne described Scion A/V Presents: The Bulls & The Bees  as "amazing in its noisy calm intensity."

Scion A/V Presents: The Bulls & The Bees Track Listing:
1.  The War on Wisdom
2.  We Are Doomed
3.  Friends Before Larry
4.  A Really Long Wait
5.  National Hamster

From Coady today:

"Listening to new melvins mixes...Buzz has some great lines on this one. Some of my favorite lyrics to date. We are doomed."

Seems Coady was telling us all along!!!

[MrLuck87]

Awesome!  But admittedly all of the "Scion AV" stuff on the front is a bit of a turnoff.  I mean I know they want their logo on it but it'd be nice if they toned it down a little.

1.  The War on Wisdom

2.  We Are Doomed

3.  Friends Before Larry

4.  A Really Long Wait

5.  National Hamster


I wonder if "Friends Before Larry" has anything to do with the Larry from Prick?   

[jules]

But it's free!
