Melts

**Melts** is a Dublin-based five-piece band blending post-punk, krautrock, and pulsing electronic grooves into a sound that feels both futuristic and primal. Formed in 2019, the group features members of Irish indie acts (like Bitch Falcon and Mama Kaspa) but carves its own identity with hypnotic synth lines, driving bass, and frontman Eoin Kenny’s brooding vocals. Their 2022 debut album, *Maelstrom*, earned buzz for its dystopian energy and danceable intensity, with tracks like "Soloist" and "Kokeshi" showcasing their knack for merging icy atmospherics with relentless rhythm. Known for their chaotic, sweat-soaked live shows, Melts have become a standout in Ireland’s thriving underground scene, landing slots at festivals like Other Voices and drawing comparisons to acts like LCD Soundsystem and Gilla Band. Keep an eye on these noise-makers—they’re here to melt faces.
