PULSE (TWIN CITIES, MN) SAYS:
“The Melismatics are the new standard bearers of Twin Cities rock ‘n’ roll….The Twin Cities music scene has long been defined by a class of musicians who dared to play something excitingly fresh and break away from the conventions of the times. With ‘New Infection,’ The Melismatics show that they belong in that class.”
PIONEER PRESS (ST. PAUL, MN) SAYS:
“It’ll be months before you get (or want to get) these 13 songs out of your head…..the quartet provides alt-rock power galore.”
CHICAGO READER (CHICAGO, IL) SAYS:
“Its rapid-fire dissemination of hooks… is both charming and obnoxious.”
SPLENDID (DOWNERS GROVE, IL) SAYS:
“The Melismatics write ridiculously catchy pop music driven by twin guitar riffing and impressive vocals… although the band clearly has a lock on writing effective hooks, they are entertaining (and already achieving) loftier expectations.”
PIONEER PRESS (ST. PAUL, MN) SAYS:
“Guitar riffs are as big as the beats on the Melismatics’ ‘New Infection,’ but the heavy sound is balanced by catchy melodies and woo-oohs galore.”
PULSE (TWIN CITIES, MN) SAYS:
“…Some damn meaty guitar hooks (and a totally rad vaguely 80s production aesthetic).”
POINTBLANK (DES MOINES, IA) SAYS:
“A Minneapolis band throttling out crunchy rock with plenty of pop sensibility.”
HOWWASTHESHOW.COM SAYS:
“The Melismatics are putting on some of the finest rock shows in town these days….turning it into a downright essential rock and roll event.”
STAR TRIBUNE (MINNEAPOLIS, MN) SAYS:
“Frontman Ryan Smith and Jeremy Ylvisaker have developed a terrific interplay on their guitars that underscores their great choppy pop style.”
CITYVIEW (DES MOINES, IA) SAYS:
“The Melismatics are a dynamic tour de force.”
