Band: MELLOHONEY Who: A post-punk/garage-rock duo hailing from some noisy garage east of Toronto.
They say it takes two to tango, but how many does it take to create a wall of sound,
so explosive, and so dynamic it leaves you questioning where the rest of the band is?
It only takes two.
“Coward is our most aggressive and dynamic release to date. It kicks off a new era of Mellohoney that shows off our ability to write memorable hooks amongst the sonic chaos.
We felt a sense of frustration and disillusionment with the political system, particularly with specific politicians in our current government. This song was born out of a desire for change and accountability.”

TUTV: You don’t need a whole garage rock orchestra to make a huge hair-rising noise.
The White Stripes, Royal Blood, The Black Keys and other rackety tandems are proof that
it takes only two trouble seekers to crush your poor stereo and make your neighbors calling the police. Toronto’s Mellohoney also generate that 2-motor hullabaloo.
But, unlike the acts cited, they turn up the amps even more. Schizophrenic guitars, mammoth drumming and out-of-their-minds screaming combine for a nasty headbutt.
No mellowness, no sweet honey. Middle-finger to all ego-greedy politicians.
For all those about to rock, Mellohoney salute you.
In order to not miss a beat Turn Up The Volume scans the musical
horizon daily (doing it for years now, actually) to stay in touch with
all new things sonically great and shares the results on a weekly
basis.

A punchy hard rockin’ song that is not afraid to shine its veneer with hints
of pop and catchy choruses. Think Cheap Trick meets The Undertones, with a
soaring guitar solo that lifts you up and carries you away to sunnier climes.
“This song began being written mid tearful phone conversation when I realized that I wasn’t being honest with myself. At the time it was just a statement written down but resulted in deep reflection, looking at where my desire to play something safe originated, where it came from to not trust what my body and mind were telling me.”
A smooth, electrifying groove, gripping vocals, and introspective lyrics.
Maddison Schreiber, aka Madam Sad is disabled person on ODSP. She had violent acts committed against her regularly. Things such as going without food, being threatened
with homelessness, watching rent rise as my income stays stagnant.
“This song specifically pulls from the idea that there’s a large group of people that are either apathetic or encouraging of extorting others. I feel like this is violent by nature, so to become violent within this system you then become accepted by that system”.
This stirring reverie will touch your heart and soul.
