### 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.
