Merle Colby Allin Jr. (born April 9, 1955)[1] is an American bass guitarist. He is the elder brother of the late punk rock vocalist GG Allin.[2]

Allin played electric bass for three groups that featured GG Allin: Malpractice, The AIDS Brigade and the third version of The Murder Junkies; he currently continues the latter, his brother's final backing band, with original drummer Donald ("Dino Sex") Sachs, and several younger members.[3]

Allin is featured extensively in the documentary film Hated: GG Allin and the Murder Junkies, by filmmaker Todd Phillips.[4]

Allin was also bass player in late 70s Boston punk group Thrills (a.k.a. City Thrills),[5] who released several singles and were the subject of a later CD discography.[6] He subsequently joined the band Cheater Slicks, and played bass guitar on their debut album On Your Knees.

Allin also appears in the full-length Allin family documentary GG Allin: All in the Family (2018), directed by Sami Saif.

Outside of his work as a musician, Allin is a noted collector of serial killer memorabilia and was featured in three installments of Soft White Underbelly.[7][8]
