Wesoła, a przy tym bardzo wpływowa dla kapel stonerowych i sladżowych ekipa z Montesano (stan Waszyngton). Amerykanie od roku 1983 - 2000 występowali jako trio, dopiero od albumu "Electroretard" nieregularnie do składu dołączali dodatkowi muzycy.
Wśród byłych muzyków Melvins należy wymienić Gene'a Simmonsa, Mike'a Pattona, Dave'a Grolha, Trevora Dunna czy Dave'a Lombardo.
