“These guys are incredible, it's sunshine music. It's upbeat makes and just wants me to clap my hands. They've got so much energy on-stage, I just know they're going to be huge” BBC Radio One
"A beautiful cacophony of sound" Amazing Radio
"Having recently played 3 festivals in 3 different continents within one month, Melodramas are well in the groove of leaving audiences awestruck and they certainly carry on that knack tonight. Their quirky and restless style ensures no one here tonight will forget their name in a hurry. “The Paris Metro” and “Ewoks” are hugely infectious and enjoyable slabs of eccentric indie guitar pop. The band know how to entertain a crowd and are difficult to take your eyes off of. In fact, it is easy to see why none other than David Johanson himself asked the band to support the New York Dolls at Talking Heads next month. On this evidence, that is a set not to be missed." www.playingoutloud.co.uk
“Frontman Matt Woolway has the rock star swagger down pat and the band have the tunes to back it up. An enigma of a line up” www.callupontheauthor.com
"Displaying truly classy sound, Melodramas are flaunting their smarmy gentleman brand of indie/rock rather well. From the highly danceable 'Jessica' to suave and sinister sound of 'Kids Get Killed', EP One has a great deal to offer. Lyrically, Melodramas are one of the better bands out there, nothing is simplistic or dumbed down. 'Pocketwatch' closes this EP in style, if ever there was a finger clicking tune to go out on, it would be this. Raising two fingers to the sloppy and arrogant sounds of bands like Babyshambles and Larrikin Love, Melodramas are raising the flag for smarter and better artists." www.rockpulse.co.uk

2008: We formed Melodramas, recorded a demo, won showcase 2008 to be crowned best new band, made a video on a budget of £10.50, supported Flamboyant Bella and The Strange Death of Liberal England.
2009: We sign a deal with Jelly Maid Music to release EPone, which sells out. We join forces with C Management realising six heads are better than four. In October we played three continents in a month, with appearances at SouthseaFest (UK), KuwaitStock (Kuwait City) and One Movement Festival (Australia). The latter included an exclusive appearance for Rolling Stone. A mini-album was recorded and produced by the band in a garage, and all seven songs are currently online. Picked as SonicBids artist of the week with front page exposure. New York Dolls directly ask Melodramas to support them at their Southampton date on their UK tour. More '09 stuff as and when my lovelies.
