clown alley - circus of chaos

released in 1986

the melvins would later gain two bass players from this band (lori black and mark deutrom...actually...mark played the guitar in this band...as well as produced it...as well as some of the early melvins releases...he also founded alchemy records which released the first albums for the melvins and neurosis)

they're considered one of the originators of the punk/metal crossover genre (ie suicidal tendencies...DRI)

musically...the band combined the dead kennedys with early melvins along with early helmet

this was the only album to get released
