Melts

Hailing from the Northside, Dublin five-piece Melts have fast emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the city's era-defining scene. Brimming with hooks and searing intent, their forward- pushing brand of rock n roll weds elements of psychedelia, post-punk and Krautrock to deliver a sound all their own.

Having won acclaim from the likes of Paste, Stereogum, KEXP and BBC 6 Music since forming in late 2017, the Eoin Kenny-fronted band's psych-leaning craft bears the imprint of everyone from Moon Duo and Beak to Echo and the Bunnymen and Neu!, all while retaining their own singular force and lure. From the widescreen Motorik stomp of Echoes, the blissed-out Seesaw and far beyond, this is slick, earworming music that effortlessly throws back and pushes forward in perfect synchronicity.

Off the back of sold-out shows alongside the likes of Rolling Blackouts CF, Warmduscher, TOY and Fontaines DC (who they support in Bristol and Southampton on November 30th & December 1st respectively) 2020 will see the release of the band's highly-anticipated debut album.
