Question: What band was formed earlier, Better Than Ezra or the Melvins?
Context: The Melvins are an American rock band that formed in 1983 in Montesano, Washington.  They have mostly performed as a trio, as well as a quartet with two drummers in recent years.  Since 1984, vocalist and guitarist Buzz Osborne and drummer Dale Crover have been constant members.  The band was named after a supervisor at a Thriftway in Montesano, Washington, where Osborne also worked as a clerk.  "Melvin" was despised by other employees, and the band's members felt it to be an appropriately ridiculous name.  Their early work was key to the development of both grunge and sludge metal.

Hurricane Alice was the second-strongest Atlantic hurricane to make landfall in the month of June since reliable records began in the 1850s.  While not a major hurricane, the storm was linked to catastrophic flooding in southern Texas and northern Mexico, especially along the Rio Grande and its tributaries.  The third tropical cyclone and first hurricane of the 1954 Atlantic hurricane season, Alice was one of two storms to receive the same name that year, the other being an unusual post-season hurricane that persisted into the new year of 1955, becoming one of only two January hurricanes on record (the other having formed in 1938).  The first Alice developed rather suddenly on June 24 over the Bay of Campeche, though it may well have formed earlier but went undetected due to limited surface weather observations. Moving northwestward, Alice strengthened rapidly as it neared the Mexican coastline, becoming a hurricane early the next day.  By midday on June 25, the hurricane reached peak winds of 110 mi/h before moving inland well south of the U.S.–Mexico border.  The storm struck an area with few inhabitants and caused relatively minimal impacts from wind near the point of landfall and in southern Texas. The Malaysian Ceylonese Congress (MCC) is a political party in Malaysia.

The hypopharyngeal eminence or hypobranchial eminence is a midline swelling of the third and fourth pharyngeal arches, in the development of the tongue.  It appears in the fifth and sixth weeks of embryogenesis.  The hypopharyngeal eminence forms mostly from the endoderm of the third pharyngeal arch and only partially from the fourth pharyngeal arch.  It quickly grows to cover the copula formed earlier from the second pharyngeal arch, and will form the posterior one third of the tongue. The 1953 NCAA football season finished with the Maryland Terrapins capturing the AP, INS, and UPI national championship after Notre Dame held the top spot for the first nine weeks.  The #4 Oklahoma Sooners defeated Maryland in the Orange Bowl, but there was no further polling after the November 30 results were released.  However, Notre Dame was selected as the National Champions by 10 other polls and the Oklahoma Sooners received first in 2 polls.  However, despite the team receiving National Championship rings, the University of Notre Dame does not recognize this title due to their policy of only recognizing AP or coaches' poll titles during the polling era (1936-present).  Maryland was also the first champion of the Atlantic Coast Conference, which had been formed earlier in 1953 by seven colleges formerly with the Southern Conference.  The year 1953 also saw the Michigan State Spartans, previously an independent, join the Big Nine Conference, which then became the Big Ten; MSU won the conference title in that first year and was the conference representative to the Rose Bowl, which it won 28-20 over UCLA.
