If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Dave Mante The Melmacs have quickly become our favorite punky power pop band from Dresden, Germany, and they've released one last single before their album comes out next week. We do have one complaint about "Lazy Hearts." It might just be too catchy. I've spent the entire day with "All the lazy boys, all the lazy girls" stuck in my head. Luckily, it's a great power pop track, so it's been an enjoyable earworm. This is a bouncy and catchy track that goes into the pop side of power pop, but with exactly the right amount of a punk edge to keep it from being too pop. The new album from The Melmacs is one of our most highly anticipated for next month, and "Lazy Hearts" will show you exactly why. You can listen to "Lazy Hearts" below. Euphancholia is due out April 10 on Spaghetty Town Records, and is available for pre-order through Bandcamp . For more on The Melmacs, check out the band on Instagram and Facebook .

Photo by Dave Mante The press release for "Bad Seeds" says that the events in the song are a true story that never happened, but also happened exactly as described. If you like statements like that, the latest from The Melmacs is for you. The Dresden, Germany band pack a ton of fun and energy into the song, which is described as "punky power pop." The song is both pop punk and power pop, all while creating its own sound. Plus, if you like your songs extra hooky and catchy, you're going to love "Bad Seeds." This is rock and roll that demands you shake your ass, or at the very least to bop up and down. The Melmacs aren't a band for worrying if people think you look cool. This is a band to have fun and rock out to. You can watch the video for "Bad Seeds" below. Euphancholia is due out April 10 on Spaghetty Town Records, and is available to pre-order through Bandcamp .

Dresden, Germany's The Melmacs are back with more "punky power pop" goodness. Their latest single, "Keep On," is a wickedly catchy track that jumps between garage rock keys and alt-rock guitars. It's like if The Archies decided to try to go punk. For a garage rock/power pop track, there is a lot going on here. Most songs in those genres tend to be straightforward, but "Keep On" goes through multiple style and tempo changes in under four minutes. Throughout all the sonic changes, The Melmacs keep the song wildly fun and upbeat. If you love sugary power pop with just the slightest punk edge, you're going to end up loving "Keep On."

Photo by Dave Mante Germany's The Melmacs are back with a brand new power pop punk single. "Run for Your Life" is a just under three minute burst of pure joy in rock and roll form. This is one of the most earwormy rock songs you've ever heard. It has all of the delight and rawness of early garage rock, but the polish and sheen of pop punk. This is rock music that demands you dance to it with its modern meets vintage vibes. Sometimes you just need a fun song, and The Melmacs are providing you with that. "Run for Your Life" is filled with killer riffs and some of the catchiest hooks of this century. And that's not even mentioning the organ, which might be the secret weapon of the song. You can watch the video for "Run for Your Life" below. The single is out now on Spaghetty Town Records. For more on The Melmacs, check out the band on Facebook and Instagram .
