Melt-Banana: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About Melt-Banana

Melt-Banana is a Japanese noise rock project formed in the early 1990s, built around rapid-fire punk tempos, abrupt structural shifts, and electronic interference. Their work draws from grindcore, experimental rock, and pop-minded hooks, often treating songs like stitched-together fragments rather than linear narratives. In New York City they appear at Elsewhere, on bills that have also included BRUX, Anarchy 99 DJs, and genre-adjacent acts from Brainstory to Marco Benevento. The live approach favors precision and velocity over spectacle.
