Scion releasing new Melvins album

[black stallion]

"I am really glad that a company like this is interested in art," Mr. Crover said.

Mr. Crover?

you can call him President Crover too

[(((O)))]

Scion does digital only, right? Yeeeeeeeeahhhh..... FUCK THAT SHIT.

I hope not i want it clasped tightly in my hands and me as giddy as a schoolgirl at a Justin Bieber mimed performance. If it's only gonna be digital why couldnt Ipecac have released it then?

[moose]

Who cares? More Melvins!

because it won't translate into higher car sales for ipecac.

[Captain CoryCory]

So THAT's what they meant by saving your pennies!

[Uncle Fester]

scion really thinks they are going to make more sales funding a melvins "mini" album? pffft.
thats business suicide.

[(((O)))]

i'm sorry, i'm confused (easily) so i need to repeat... Is this something other than the % sonf remix of Electric Flower that Scion has already released?

In a word. Yes.

[Mad Arab]

Will it come with a free car?

No, probably just a cool ass punk window decal to put on your new Scion ... Hey maybe Melvins can become the house band at the Hot Topic too ... that would be totally fucking awesome! I think I just threw up a little!

What would be wrong with that? Especially when the traditional methods of releasing and distributing music is on dire straits. You want Melvins music readily available in a tangible form? Then shed the elitist attitude. Nothing wrong with making money. Nothing wrong with making sure that you do what you can to remain profitable. Nothing is free in this world.

[>>>JZS<<<]

Ding ! Ding ! Ding !

The band has full artistic control of its product, and with Scion's money it has also been able to make music videos, something that he said his band had rarely had the budget for.

What's not to like ?   .....whiney bitches....

[(((O)))]

Do you think this means the end for Melvins on Ipecac?

[FartLips]

ipecac will be sucking dust out that dick before that relationship ends. Ipecac artist roster: melvins and who?

[dead mike]

Haha ... as if the typical melvins fan can afford to buy a new car.

Fools and their money and all that.

I like that someone thinks the melvins are "historic."

[Mount Ambulance]

Haha ... as if the typical melvins fan can afford to buy a new car.

Strange, seems they got lots of dough to drop on boutique priced merch and inflated ebay flipped boutique merch ...

Nothing wrong with an elistist attitude ... years ago I didn't get into "punk" and/or "alternative", "indie" (whatever the kids are calling it) and their unique social circles/sub cultures to be a populist ... I did it to get away from "THEM". Those idiots at school, work, ... everywhere ... the mainstream ... but then someone(s) figured out they could make a buck off of selling the secrect handshake ... now my neighbours 6yr. old kid has a blue mohawk.

As for the traditional models of release ... if I can't have faith in a Music Co./Record Label to release music ... I have even less faith in a car company ... or Coke a Cola, or whoever else is stepping up to the plate to milk off muscians, music, and it's culture.

Trust me they aren't releasing music cause they "dig it" they are doing it 'cause they think they can make a buck off it ... same old story ... different corporation.

When Magrudergrind released their latest via Scion it featured at big 'ol SCION logo ... right on the front cover!

Nothing is free in this world ... 'cept Scion releases ... and shows ... only stregthing the already cheap ass relationship most people have with the music they claim to love.

[Dumpster D]

yeah, we all know what a corperation is.

I think at a point you need to figure this;

if you can't beat em' treat em'

I can't say that corperate pigs deserve a hand in the melvins Cookie Jar.

but what are you gonna do?

either way money gets made...so there it is.

it's not like you're putting your faith into anything.

we all know, no one expects you to like it.
