Artist Biography
Unrelated to the folk singer-songwriter of the early
70s who travelled under the same name, the 90s Melony were a trio from
Stockholm, Sweden, who specialized in angular but commercial pop rock.
The band comprised comic book translator Peter Kvint (guitar/vocals),
Mana Eriksson (drums) and Gunnar Norden (bass), who originally formed to
play at a friend’s wedding. Following a domestic-only EP for Sweden’s
Soap label, they were signed by Minty Fresh Records’ president Jim
Powers for American and mainstream European releases in 1997. A debut
album, Satisfaction, followed in August 1997, the songs dominated by
pleasing hooks and melodies and Kvint’s individualistic take on American
pop culture - the best examples being ‘Big Dipper’ and ‘Barbra
Streisand Nose’.
