Meldrop is a five-piece indie rock group hailing from Tacoma, WA. Their journey began unexpectedly in the fall of 2022, as a group of bussers from a local seafood joint decided to unwind with a jam session after work. The immediate connection that emerged from that impromptu jam lit a spark that has since propelled the band into the heart of the Seattle music scene and beyond.
Anchored by Elijah Tuncap on drums, Aidan Maggi on bass, and Aidan Goodman on keys, the intricate guitar interplay between River Esqueda and Kirran Medchill enriches their sound with depth and texture. Their undeniable chemistry, in combination with a palette of influences ranging from J-pop to the blues, has resulted in a sound that is truly their own.
Their newly released sophomore EP, Melodaze, reflects the band’s sonic maturation as they’ve continued to ascend the Seattle scene. Building on the sound of their original self-titled EP, the new project provides a fresh perspective anchored in raw storytelling, tackling issues from heartbreak to mental health.
Lavalove
The Los Angeles indie band “Lavalove”, is hoping to bring a fresh sound to the music scene. Their music is mixture of modern indie, surf rock, and acid jazz. The band was created in 2019 by lead singer and songwriter, Tealarose Coy. Their goal in creating music is to make others feel a little less alone through their headphones. After a lot of restless nights of writing and recording, she created the fan favorited singles such as, “Sweethearts FM” and “Guts”. “One Last Heart” is their most recent single! It was written about the pain of never wanting to hurt someone you love and how inevitable that pain is. They hope everyone has as much fun listening as they did writing and recording.
