NEW SINGLE "CAN'T KEEP A THING" OUT NOW Visit The Twisted Melons Shop (CDs and TShirts) Music also now available to buy from iTunes , Karma Download , TuneTribe and Napster The Twisted Melons MySpace Group "You're twisting my melon, you're getting me all mixed up." Steve McQueen Eclectic. Melodic. Electric. Melonic. From the remote Mull of Kintyre on the west coast of Scotland, The Twisted Melons are three melomaniac brothers striving to bring melodic illumination to the masses. With a sound that brings forth superlatives such as “totally progressive”, “awesome”, “rock-art” and “The Soundtrack to Bill and Ted 3”, The Twisted Melons will expand your consciousness and make your life totally better. "Imagine the Manic Street Preachers doing a cover of The Pixies and you're close" .."font-weight:bold"Eddy Temple-Morris, XFM "Taking experimentalism as their religion and a healthy disrespect for convention, fashion and dogma as their ethos, The Twisted Melons continue to tear up the genre rulebook to create truly modern psychedelic post-alternative electro-prog-pop." EMUBands Some bands are easily defined by genres but others - such as The Twisted Melons - are hard to label. Prog rock, pop and metal are just a few of the influences in the Johnson brothers' music." Scottish Sunday Mail January 2005 "Jaw-droppingly great Campbeltown band. Superb use of technology to deliver a perfect eclectic mixture of sounds. Their music is best described as art pop, psychedelic metal, electronic noise and progressive rock. A must see/hear band." Flat2M Promotions, Glasgow "The bands live shows over the last two years have brought plaudits from many including Franz Ferdinand, who described them as one of the emerging bands from Glasgow to watch out for." The Campbeltown Courier, August 2005 Get these tracks Get this Widget! |
