  • Bio

    ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .............. .... .. .. .. .. .. ............................ .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...................................... .. .. .......... .. .. .......... .. .. .......... .. .. .......... .. .. .......... .. .. .......... .. .. ..........Melotia is an LA based hard rock band that formed in August 2004 when singer/guitarist Ryan David parted company with his Australian group. Having arrived on US shores from Sydney Australia just 9 months earlier, RD suddenly found himself homeless with no band, no money, no job and few friends. .."I had a bag of tattered clothes, 2 guitars and an amplifer all packed into a rapidly deteriorating 1982 Dodge Van that I was basically living in at the time.".. RD immediately set about putting together a new band.....Through a process of trial and error, along with a few line up changes Melotia settled as a three piece with John Maryanski on bass and Clark Skelton on drums. Melotia released their self-produced debut album "Every Waking Moment" on the 15th of June, 2007. The band proceeded to tour extensively through 2007 and 2008, hitting hundreds of cities in over 14 states. After completing their Summer Kamikaze Tour in June/July 2008 Melotia wrapped up 15 months of intense touring and took a much needed break from the road. Regrouping in August 2008 the boys grinded away in the studio for two months, the outcome of which is their new EP entitled "Saving August Divine". The new material marks a mature progression for the group.....Melotia pride themselves on the raw energy of their live show. "We write music and lyrics based on honesty and truth. There are no gimmicks.", says frontman RD. .."We've all been through a lot and it shows in our live show...". ..What you see is what you get and what you get is honest, in-your-face hard rock music...........FEEL FREE TO POST OUR BANNERS ON YOUR PAGE ...

BIO

Every band has a story and Melotia is no exception. This story begins in Los Angeles California, July 2004. After relocating from Sydney Australia, singer/guitarist Ryan David hit the ground running and immediately set about forming a new band. Months of auditions along with a few line-up changes, from Hollywood to the Valley, from San Francisco to San Diego, and Melotia was formed with Northern Californian Clark Skelton providing the beats and Southern Californian John Maryanski providing the bass. Then it was time to get to work. In 2007 the culmination of two years of writing and recording was released as Melotia's debut album Every Waking Moment. In support of the album, Melotia hit the road and hit it HARD, touring relentlessly through 2007 and 2008, stopping only to shoot a music video for the single Burning Skies before blazing off again. With webisodes, radio interviews, videos, unplugged performances, guest appearances, TV placements, and with 15 states and hundreds of cities under their belt, the touring finally grinded to a hault late in 2008 and the boys took a short but much needed break. Enter 2009. A rejuvenated Melotia hits the studio and a short, intense burst of creativity spawns a batch of hard-edged songs. Eager to put music to tape, Melotia dives head first into the recording studio and by April 2009 the Saving August Divine EP is released and more touring ensues. But before the touring can take the boys too far from home, a new inspiration develops, songwriting resumes and Melotia find themselves back in the studio writing for what would become their finest work yet. In 2010 Melotia entered Mid City Sound recording studios in Los Angeles to record Part I of their new album In Valor And Virtue. The new music is conceptually based around the lives and experiences of two real-life US servicemen from World War II. Quoted from a recent interview, front-man Ryan David says of the album "Although the songs don't specifically mention World War II or the names of these particular servicemen, their experiences of tragedy, bravery, romance, courage and victory are what inspired the lyrics and sound of our new album." Asked about their new single, Skelton adds "The song 'We Are The Chosen' is about standing up and protecting that which you love, fighting for what is right and never giving up. I think that says it all." The 12 song album will be released in 3 parts, each part consisting of 4 songs. Part I will be available for FREE download on April 1, 2011 at www.invalorandvirtue.com. On the heels of this bold release, Melotia launches the music video for their powerful new anthem We Are The Chosen, shot on location at Edwards Air Force Base, outside of Lancaster, California.
