As a hired gun, Matt Starr is one of the hardest-hitting and more sought-after drummers in the game today. While he refuses to be tied down to one band, make no mistake, his classic style has had as big of an impact on the Rock genre as any drummer.

Dale Crover is one of the OG Melvins. He’s the band’s drummer and more. I am happy to say I’ve got Dale with us for an interview today. We talk about the Melvins’ new record, getting fat during the pandemic, the band’s working-class ethos, and Dale’s new solo record.
