MELU247 Reimagines The Prodigy’s “Breathe” As A Gritty Noise Rock Anthem

The Prodigy’s “Breathe” gets a Finnish noise-rock overhaul from MELU247

MELU247 has been active since 2025, although the members have a long history in music. Their sound comes from a raw early-90s spirit, pulling from post-rock, noise and alternative rock while keeping a DIY approach.

Band/Artist: MELU247
Single Title: Breathe (The Prodigy cover)
Release Date: June 30th, 2026
Label: Self-Released
Format: Digital
Genre: Noise Rock, Alternative Rock, Grunge, Garage Rock
Country: Finland

The idea behind “Breathe” was to take a song already loaded with attitude and push it into a rougher, noisier and more garage-driven shape, treating the cover as a tribute with their own dirt, tension and character.

The single was released as a music video, with the audio also available through Bandcamp and SoundCloud.
