MELENAS (ES) – garage fuzz pop

melenas

Melenas are a garage fuzz pop reverbcore group from Pamplona, Spain who will make fans of The Feelies, Stereolab and classic C86 jangle pop fall for their shimmering guitars, sweet melodies and driving rhythms. They also add a touch of sun-kissed, soft focus psych to their sound. Brilliant melodies, fresh bass lines, acid keys and a Lindy Morrison drum style are adorned with fuzz and phasers and surrounded with heavenly vocal harmonies.

After having toured their two first albums (released via US label Trouble In Mind) worldwide with shows at Primavera Sound, SXSW (twice), Eurosonic, Benicassim, all over the UK and France and even at the New York Fashion Week (where they performed at the Ulla Johnson runway), in 2021 they won the MME Awards at the Eurosonic festival, a prize that has been previously won by Rosalia, Hinds, Fontaines DC or Dua Lipa.

On 2021 they released their celebrated cover version of the classic tune Eisbaer by Grauzone, and 2023 sees them full of energy, about to release their much awaited third album, Ahora, out in the fall via Trouble In Mind Records and Mushroom Pillow.

GO!ZILLA (IT)

GoZilla

Go!Zilla est un groupe italien d’Acid Psychedelic Punk basé à Florence, composé de Luca Landi (guitare/chant), Fabio Ricciolo (Batterie/chant) et Mattia Biagiotti (guitar/chant). L’inspiration de Go!Zilla va des compiles psychédélique Nuggets aux guitares grunges, le tout dans une forte attitude punk. En juin 2012, le groupe a sorti un premier EP chez Valcola records, suivi de « I’m Bleeding », un 45 tours sorti chez Surfin Ki records. Leur premier album, « Grabbing a Crocodile » est sorti le 15 novembre 2013 chez Rough Trade, Warner Chappell et Black Candy records. Activistes d’une scène garage-psyché européenne incandescente, ils ne laissent jamais indemne leur public toujours étonné qu’un son aussi survolté soit porté par de réelles subtilités mélodiques.
