Melvins/Helms Alee “Data Control” - Amphetamine Reptile Records

Yesterdays paranoia meets the future threat! Melvins team up with Helms Alee for this rendition of Hüsker Dü’s “Data Control”! Utilizing queazy AI tech to cast aspersions on the future of AI tech THAT WILL CRUSH US ALL - seems apropos, no?
Controlling Data For A Better Feeling Future - 12” and CD to launch on start of the TWINS OF EVIL TOUR late summer 2023
Video by Jesse Nieminen
Recorded by Toshi Kasai at Sound of Sirens

Holy shit. I just saw both of these Bands like 3 days apart in Germany. Had a little chat with Helms Alee at the merch stand in Cologne and their eyes lit up as soon as I mentioned Melvins. Some deep respect there that makes a lot more sense now. My (so far super shitty) day is made! Love Hüsker Dü. Thank you Melvins, thank you Helms Alee!

[@JamesGarretson-ri5yd]

It’s not every day that you get to hear two of your favorite bands collaborate. Thank you for this!

[@averygoodman761]

Melvins never do anything but rock.

[@liamdoyle8680]

Sometimes they roll, too.

This 40th anniversary business is really delivering the goods!!!! This song rocks - Toshi knows how to get the SOUNDS and Jesse destroys my eyes with these visuals! Now hurry up and do the 50th Anniversary!!!!!!!

[@jeffreyweinberg3979]

I agree, I have been loving all of the fun EPs and limited releases and whatnot. Makes me think theres another album right around the corner, Melvins 1983 maybe? Just scored this vinyl set today!

[@prince13896]

Nice Thom Yorke cameo at 1:41 lol

[@jesush.tap-dancingchrist7328]

Helms Alee are the best band in a long list of bands influenced by the Melvins. More Dana and Hoze on vocals please.

Using AI to hate on the terrifying evils of AI 🤘🤘🤘

[@melvinsdotcom]

this guy gets it!

[@pbarry25]

This may be the best cover you'll hear this year. Period. \m/

[@richardtarantino2601]

Melvins does Husker Du does Sabbath. Lyrics back then are still relevant today and Huskers always wrote intelligent stuff. Nice work and good choice. Hope everyone goes and listens to the original (live version is on youtube and sounds rad)

[@Polyfusia]

I think it sounds like Killing Joke. Look up the song I Am The Virus by Killing Joke

[@pav7997]

Got tickets to see them soon. I hope they add this song to their set 🤘

[@DerGeek]

It's like a John Carpenter fever dream.

[@Neenerella333]

Anyone COULD have put this out, but AmRep is the only label who should have.

Minnehopeless grunge meets the Seattle masters. Great way to wake up. Grant would dig it.

"We are Melvins/Helms Alee and we play Rock'n'Roll!"

[@flash_flood_area]

I love Helms Alee! Wish they'd return to play in Tucson!

[@stravellwood]

Absolute Fire!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🎵🎵🎵🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@boaz9208]

Love the Reagan-era surveillance paranoia in this song. If only it were still IBM punch cards to worry about haha

[@mnkrantz]

Where was I just taken? Let’s go again!
