_“Skate Punk is time resistant, powerful and straight to the point in the modern
scene and it is bands such as Melonball that toast a rich legacy as they hurtle 
forth into the future.” – _**_Ear Nutrition_**

_“Melodic and angsty throughout…I was surprised at how this song stuck with me for
a while after listening. Fans of never-let-up melodic punk rock will likely find
something to like here.”- _**_That’s Good Enough For Me_**

_“An Absolutely Melodic Gem”- _**_The Whole Kameese_**

Nuremberg Germany’s **Melonball** will be dropping their debut album BREATHE on 
March 31st via **Thousand Islands Records/Lockjaw Records**.

**Lineup:** 
Oli (vocals) Basti (guitar/ backing vocals) Mally (guitar) Jens (bass)
Julian (drums/backing vocals)

Of the song, the band says, _“Certainly the most personal song for Oli. It is about
the fact that– while for many, “family” means support and positivity– for some, 
it can also be a burden that you carry with you throughout your life.”_

Breathing is everything – life, the essence of existence and the focus on the existential.
With their debut album BREATHE, Melonball hit pretty deep. Ten songs full of punch,
anger, criticism, and emotion are released by the skate punk band from Nuremberg
on two labels, **Thousand Islands Records** and **Lockjaw Records**, that are well
known for their good sense when it comes to the punk radar.

According to singer Oli, BREATHE collects social and system-critical topics, channels
and breaks them down to the human feelings that are left at the end and can make
you despair sometimes: _“It’s at least comforting and often even life-saving to 
know that you’re not alone, that you’re not the only person feeling overwhelmed 
by injustice, abuse of power and all the shit that happens everywhere, but that 
you’re among like-minded people who share the same attitude and morals.”_

Since their formation in 2019, Melonball have been traveling quite a bit, (except
during the pandemic) and have been able to establish a name for themselves in the
scene. Whether at Punk Rock Camp, Punk Rock Holiday, KNRD Fest or in front of audiences
at shows with **A Wilhelm Scream, Punk Rock Factory** or **Belvedere.**

After the album release party on April 1st the quintet goes directly on tour to 
the legendary Manchester Punk Fest where they also make stops in Saarbrücken, Antwerp,
Brighton and London. In addition to numerous indoor concerts, the band will also
play shows at this year’s Punk Rock Holiday in Slovenia and at the warmup show for
Mission Ready Festival.
