A few recent press quotes:

"London four-piece Melic successfully blended their diverse musical backgrounds - classical, funk, metal and rock - with the bluesy "Nowhere I'd Rather Be" a particular highlight."
- - The Independent (Cornbury Festival Review).

"I’ve played this over and over, and it just gets in your soul, in your head – you know that kind of song that you just can’t stop playing cause you love it so much- It’s got everything. It’s a melting pot of music. What a beautiful track.
-- AMAZING RADIO (UK) - Aaron Phillips - Rock Show DJ (about "The Knight")

"A very intriguing young band from London that use their disparate influences to create a very eclectic form of progressive-indie-rock, which is the only way we can describe their very unique sound. Besides being very accomplished musicians, Melic write some great tunes too and they aren't afraid to experiment".

"An absolute riot live!" - TNT Magazine (UK)
