The Dublin-based group, which formed in late 2017, has been hard at work making a name for themselves and has received acclaim because of it. The group released their debut single ‘Skyward’ in 2018 which showcases their unique blend of post punk and psych rock. Since then, Melts have performed numerous gigs across Ireland, including a sold-out show in Dublin’s Whelans, and have played for various artists including Fontaines D.C., Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever and Brighton’s TOY.

Hot Press’s Edwin McFee praised Maelstrom, writing that the band was “maturing into one of the most powerful and primal bands in Irish rock ‘n’ roll.”

Tickets are €15 and can now be purchased online here.
