bullhead
A bullhead is a type of freshwater fish belonging to the family Ictaluridae, mostly found in North America. They are characterized by a wide, flat head, and barbels that resemble a cat's whiskers, giving them the alternate name of 'catfish'. They typically have a dark brown or black color, and are known for their ability to survive in environments with low oxygen levels.

Bullhead
Bullhead is the third album by the Melvins released in 1991 through Boner Records. This album is notable for having longer song lengths than previous Melvins albums. Before this, most of their songs were under 2 or 3 minutes. The Japanese experimental rock/drone/metal band Boris took their name from the first track on this album.
