According to the Melismatics, everybody's catching the "new infection"--and if by that they mean their brand of over-the-top, infectious, blistering rock, then by all means, go ahead and catch it. Don't worry, it's nothing a few aspirin won't take care of.
The Melismatics: a swaggering, tight pop band fronted by the twin-guitar assault of Ryan Smith and Jeremy Ylvisaker. The Melismatics take their own modern vision and sterling hooks and tumble them around with the best aspects of the classics. Reference points stretch from Big Star, Husker Du, and the Kinks to Supergrass.
