Joe Preston is an EP by then-Melvins bassist Joe Preston, released in 1992 through Boner Records. It is believed that he is the only performer on the record and the other two performers are a hoax; "Salty Green" is a known pseudonym of Preston, also seen on the "Night Goat" single. Denial Fiend was a pseudonym for Martin Ain who was in the band Hellhammer.[2]

The cover art for the album is a parody of the cover art from Paul Stanley's 1978 solo album. The credit for Marina Sirtis as "Counselor" is a reference to the actress that played Counselor Deanna Troi on the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation.
