Alternative Tentacles

Alternative Tentacles is an underground punk record label that was established in 1979 in San Francisco, California, USA. It later expanded to have a sublabel/office in London, UK. The label gained recognition when it released the self-produced single "California Über Alles" for the *Dead Kennedys*. Realizing the potential for an independent label, Alternative Tentacles went on to release records for other bands as well. Originally formed by *East Bay Ray* and *Jello Biafra*, Biafra became the owner of Alternative Tentacles in the mid-1980s. However, it's important to note that Alternative Tentacles no longer owns the rights to Dead Kennedys recordings due to a lawsuit in 2000.

With its distinctive sound and rebellious spirit, Alternative Tentacles has been at the forefront of punk music since its inception. Its dedication to supporting independent artists and pushing boundaries has made it a respected name within the industry.

As an influential label with a rich history, Alternative Tentacles continues to champion alternative music and provide a platform for artists who dare to challenge conventional norms.

The Melvins are a prolific rock/metal band formed in 1983 in Montesano, WA. They have had a rotating cast of more than 10 bass players and have released over 20 studio albums throughout their 40-year career. Their current bassist is Trevor Dunn. The band performs under the name "Melvins Lite" with Trevor Dunn on stand-up bass and under the name "Melvins 1983" with Dale on bass instead of drums.

The core members of the Melvins are Buzz Osborne (guitar/lead vocals) and Dale Crover (drums/vocals). The band was originally based in Montesano, WA before relocating to San Francisco, CA in 1988 and eventually settling in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley.

The name "Melvins" came from a grocery clerk at the Thriftway in Montesano where Buzz Osborne worked. They chose this name as it was an appropriately ridiculous name that referred to the most hated fellow employee at the store.

Like WW I had its WW II and the Gulf War had its Iraqi Freedom, you can't expect an event of epic proportions to end without proper follow-through: hence, Alternative Tentacles presents the first and second installment from Jello Biafra With The Melvins ! Never Breathe What You Can't See (2004) fed the world, in alternating fistfuls, the Melvins' sonic brutality and Biafra's erudite lyrical jesting, and the world cried for more. Sieg Howdy features songs recorded during the Never Breathe sessions, as well as remixes by Al Jourgensen (Ministry, Lard), Dalek and Dale Crover (Melvins). And you know that Biafra, the consummate record collector, would not even think of releasing another record unless it's good enough to stand on its own! It doesn't matter if you missed the boat the first time or if you couldn't get enough, the dominion of Jello Biafra With The Melvins is far from over: be prepared yet again to let the most twisted minds in rock detonate your mind.
