Today, The Melvins have announced that they will be capping off 2025 with the Stop Your Whining Tour, which is a six-week outing with special guests Redd Kross, whose kaleidoscopic blend of punk, retro glam and garage rock has earned them a cult following since the early ’80s.

The Melvins are one of modern music’s most influential bands. Having formed in 1983, the group, founded by vocalist and guitarist Buzz Osborne, with drummer Dale Crover joining a year later, has been credited with merging the worlds of punk rock and heavy music by forming a new subgenre all their own. Over their 40-plus-year career, they have released more than 30 original albums, numerous live records and far too many to count singles and rarities.

Recent releases include Thunderball, a Melvins 1983 release that sees Osborne reunite with the band’s original drummer, Mike Dillard, 2024’s Tarantula Heart, an album that Osborne wrote songs based on a series of improvisational live sessions, the six-song 2022 Bad Mood Rising and Five Legged Dog 2021, which is an ambitious 36-track acoustic collection that reimagines their heaviest songs alongside covers of their favorite artists.
