Coady Willis is a drummer based in Los Angeles CA. His has a robust pedigree of performing and recording with The Murder City Devis, Big Business, Melvins and High On Fire, to name a few. He is also one of three drummers on the all percussion record, Hew Time, along with Joe and Dale Crover. Coady tells us how his uncle helped paved the way for life as a rock n roll drummer, why seeing the band Tribe 8 changed his early teen perspective on performance and he shares his experience of playing in bands in Mt. Vernon and Seattle in his formative years. He also shares his journey from being a young Dale Crover fan to eventually playing alongside Dale in Melvins. The two drummers discuss their individual approaches to joining an established band, the hurdles that come with it, and why being conscientious of the group's chemistry is crucial. Finally, Coady talks about his long history with High On Fire and why recording and writing the new record Cometh The Storm (out now via MNRK Music Group) was such an educational and rewarding experience. We hear a few tunes from Cometh The Storm and of course the drummers talk drums.

Throughout the conversation with Matt Pike and Jeff Matz of Sleep and High on Fire, we discuss their latest studio album, Cometh the Storm. Our discussion goes into the album's thematic layers, focusing on tracks like "Sol's Golden Curse" and their relevance amidst current global events, including the COVID-19 pandemic, left-wing political authoritarianism, and societal unrest. We also explore Kurt Ballou of Converge's role as the album's producer. Matt shares insights into his solo project, Pike vs. the Automaton, and its potential influence on Cometh the Storm. Reflecting on Third Man Records Vault Package #52, featuring Sleep's "Dopesmoker" with remastered audio, Matt provides his perspective. Additionally, he discusses Sleep's previous release, "The Sciences," marking their return after a hiatus. Jeff Matz offers insights into his dual commitment to teaching and music, and we touch upon drummer Coady Willis's recent performance in Australia with The Melvins.

He's also the host of his own podcast called Tour Stories, which we discuss towards the end of the episode. Please enjoy my conversation with Joe about the main influences that shaped him into the very-sought-after drummer he is today. Cheers! And Happy Holidays! Relax for a damn second.

This week we're discussing every album by the Melvins from 1999 to 2010. This era of the band has two legendary lineups. The first is with Kevin Rutmanis on bass (Cows, Tomahawk, Hepa-Titus). The second is with Big Business's Jared Warren on bass and Coady Willis on second drums. This era shows the Melvins evolving more than they ever have before. It's wild.Our first episode on the Melvins:https://youtu.be/X_NfiXEMqE8Robert's stuff:Album: https://open.spotify.com/album/6mNRfF5ntSGILU6l0H1QQQ?si=KHjGnV8xRy6CWpXuZ4ketgNTS radio show:https://www.nts.live/shows/yayayiInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/hoodpass.wic/Closing track: “P.G. x 3” from The Bride Screamed Murder (2010)Check out our episode playlists on Spotify!https://open.spotify.com/user/motherpuncherincJoin our Patreon to jump the line when requesting an artist, as well as get bonus episodes, early access to shows, and more!https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumeverMerch available now!https://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/Instagram:Follow Mike @pandermonkeyFollow Alex @motherpuncherMike's Picks:Hostile Ambient Takeover (2002) — Best AlbumThe Maggot (1999) — Personal FavoriteThe Crybaby (2000) — Worst Album, Least FavoriteAlex's Picks:(A) Senile Animal (2006) — Best AlbumThe Bride Screamed Murder (2010) — Personal FavoriteElectroretard (2001) — Worst AlbumThe Maggot (1999) — Least FavoriteRobert's Picks:The Bootlicker (1999) — Best Album, Personal FavoriteThe Crybaby (2000) — Worst AlbumHostile Ambient Takeover (2002) — Least FavoriteAlbums we discussed this episode…The Maggot (1999)The Bootlicker (1999)The Crybaby (2000)Electroretard (2001)Hostile Ambient Takeover (2002)(A) Senile Animal (2006)Nude with Boots (2008)The Bride Screamed Murder (2010)
Melvins drummer Dale Crover is our guest this week! We discuss the band's new album of acoustic re-imaginings, Five Legged Dog, how the band narrowed down the song list for it, which songs the band attempted to rework but failed, and his thoughts on doing an acoustic tour. We also talk about the recent passing of Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, how he found out fellow Melvins drummer Coady Willis got the job with High On Fire, his new pandemic hobby of golfing, and an update on his solo material. Petar and Brandon discuss two members of Mötley Crüe making the news for falling and hurting themselves this week -- Tommy Lee's pool slip and Vince Neil's stage fall -- which legendary artist gets the funnier news treatment, Danzig or Vince Neil, and Kerry King's statement that Slayer called it quits too early. Thank you to our sponsor, Metal Blade Records, for their continued support! Songs: Melvins - “Night Goat” (Acoustic) and “Sway” (The Rolling Stones Cover), Monolord - “I'll Be Damned”
The Melvins were formed in Montesano, Washington in 1983 by Buzz Osborne, Matt Lukin, and Mike Dillard. Lukin and Dillard left the band and drummer Dale Crover stepped in shortly thereafter. Osborne and Crover have been the Melvins’ mainstays throughout their 29-year metamorphosis. To date, the band has released 27 original albums, numerous live full-lengths and far too many to count singles and rarities. They’ve partnered with Jello Biafra, Lustmord and Fantomas for individual releases and toured the world many times over (side note: the band was in both Christchurch and Tokyo for their 2011 earthquakes). With the release of (A) Senile Animal in 2006, the Melvins became a four-piece, essentially annexing Jared Warren and Coady Willis of Big Business. The Melvins, already known for their shattering mix of punk-meets-metal (and often referred to by an assortment of tags including sludge and grunge), we’re now louder and more bombastic than ever leading to a resurgence in the band’s popularity and a run of three original full-lengths. Never ones for complacency, Buzz and Dale have since created Melvins Lite, a line-up partnering the pair with Mr. Bungle’s Trevor Dunn and most recently teamed with Butthole Surfers’ JD Pinkus and Paul Leary for the 2014 release, Hold It In.

A long delicious talk with Coady WIllis, drummer of Big Business, Melvins, Murder City Devils, Dead Low Tide and more. A dirty punk show begets a lap dance which begets a full on brawl. Bladed Christmas gifts are not enough to impress Lemmy. A nefarious Texas State Trooper returns. A rare Rick James is spotted in his element. A foreign tour through two separate natural disasters.

Big Business drummer Coady Willis is our guest this week. We discuss the band's new record The Beast You Are, the process of songwriting as a two piece throughout the years, the importance of current tour-mates Clutch in Big Business's career trajectory, how pulling double duty with the Melvins a few years back heavily influenced Mind The Drift and the important legacy of that band, and growing up in Seattle during the rise of grunge in the '90s. Also this week, Petar, Brandon, and Jozalyn tackle the three greatest rock and metal EPs ever released and parlay that into a discussion on EPs in general: why they are released? what can make them special? what makes the majority of them uninteresting to fans? Songs: Bloodbath - “Weak Aside” The Dillinger Escape Plan featuring Mike Patton - “Hollywood Squares” Alice In Chains - “Rotten Apple” Big Business - “Let Them Grind”

Coady Willis is the power house drummer of noise groove -duo Big Business who have also been 2-4th’s of the Melvins. With the Melvin’s , Coady found himself playing drums along aside one of his idols in Dale Crover and the two made for one hell of a dual drumming team and incredible phase of the Melvin’s. We get into nightmare gigs in New Orleans, Texas BBQ, learning to play double drums with an idol and compensating with visual cues for the spaciness that is the Melvin’s music, last minute subbing for Unsane’s Vincent Signorelli , the origins of Big Business and Murder City Devils, plus touring tips and the early connections o the drums that lasts to this day..
