“Really excited to be playing with this band again, it’s been too long,” Crover shares, adding “we’re also looking forward to playing some new music we’ve been working on.” A new Dale Crover album is in the works with additional details forthcoming. Crover also shared that, for the first time ever, he will be playing music from his Melvins’ solo EP.
