UPDATES:
06/25/09 --- Awesome shows coming up plus Dance For Destruction's release show! Check the flyers!
Conceived by an intolerance for mainstream crap and a love for the underground scene, Melotov Records was born in the suburbs of the Santa Clarita Valley. The label's mission is to get recognition to bands that otherwise may not be getting their well-deserved credit. In other words, major labels look to exploit for profit, Melotov Records just wants to get the bands out there.
The DIY attitude is highly valued and is encouraged, but Melotov is here to help with aspects of the industry that may not be easily accessible to an underground band (ex: financial backing and networking/promotion). Also, there is such a disconnection in today's society between label and artist. Owner and founder, Melanie Voltz, built this label from her love of going to local and semi-local shows, talking to bands she liked, and establishing friendships with them. And that's exactly what she wants to keep doing...along with putting out records and helping with promotion.
This is a label created by an artist for artists. And although the main signs will be with bands of the hardcore, metal, and punk variety, there is no discrimination. So whether you like to head bang, two-step, circle pit, skank, bounce, or just fuckin' rock-out-with-your-cock-out (or jam-out-with-your-clam-out), this is the place.
Melotov Records is your label.
So don't be a stranger! Drop us a line and send us a demo!

ALWAYS LOOKING TO EXPAND OUR ROSTER!
Influences: All the independent, D.I.Y. attitudes out there who are in it for the passion, not the profit; who do it for the love and not the trend; who at the end of the day know that they've stayed true.
Sounds Like: MELOTOV COCKTAIL: [mehl-oh-tawv kawk-tay-ILL]

1. An explosive, revolutionary, attention-demanding approach to all aspects of the musical realm, particularly that of the independently driven underground artists

2. crude incendiary grenade consisting of a bottle filled with a flammable liquid and a wick that is ignited before throwing: used originally for setting fire to enemy tanks during the Spanish Civil War, now used as a tasty drink amongst the world's badasses

3. Listen and find out for yourself
