It’s been over a decade since we last got an album from Melt-Banana, but they’re picking up right where they left off. Ahead of their new album 3+5 this summer (following up 2013’s Fetch), the Tokyo noise rock icons have shared the wild single “Flipside.”
Premiering exclusively through BrooklynVegan, “Flipside” is full of rip-roaring guitars and fiery drums that make you feel like you can outrun the Road Runner from Looney Tunes. It also has a really cool muted bridge portion that just makes the rest of the two-minute track hit even harder. Listen to “Flipside” here.
