Seattle proto-grunge survivors Mudhoney last night returned to network television for the first time in 18 years, performing “I Like It Small,” off the band’s new album Vanishing Point, on air, plus a second song off the record, “The Only Song of the Widow From Nain,” as a web-only exclusive.
This week’s new releases include brand-new studio albums from Seattle proto-grunge legends Mudhoney (‘Vanishing Point’), thrash masters Suicidal Tendencies (’13’), the Dead Kennedys’ Jello Biafra (‘White People and the Damage Done’) and Victor DeLorenzo of the Violent Femmes (‘Victor DeLorenzo’).
This April marks the 25th anniversary of both Mudhoney and its label, Seattle’s Sub Pop Records, and the proto-grunge act will mark the occasion with the release of its ninth studio album, ‘Vanishing Point’ — which you can preview now via a free download of first single “The Only Son of the Widow from Nain.”
