Melotrik is a mixture of a record company and a creative collective based in Oulu, Finland. The aim of the people involved is to bring forth alternative music from the notrhern parts of Finland. Firstly the label is for the purpose of the founders' bands, but if there is the time and the money, the production and publishing of other bands' and artists' records will be considered.

Releases

80th Disorder: Transform EP (2006) MRK001

On the 4 track EP the band continues its journey on the path of athmospheric synth-pop. The drum- machine has been replaced by a drummer, which has brought extra energy to the band, especially to the live-acts, but which hasn’t totally erased the feeling of electro-pop, which once was the band’s starting point. The record is available at all Levykauppa Äxs and at levyvirasto.net

Phantom Wagon: Wait a While Now (2007) MRK002

The Phantom Wagon LP is very versatile from joyful to sorrowful, and from light to rather heavy. This is due to the fact that the band hasn’t set limits to its outlet, though maybe in general it could be said to be melancholy, melodic and energetic alternative rock. The record is available at Levykauppa Äx.

Phantom Wagon are currently working on their second album. It's going to include 10-12 songs ranging from grungy punk-pop to heavier pop-metal. The recordings have been planned to take place in the fall and the record should be finished in the beginning of 2009.

Viva Ziva: Loose Ends (2008) MRK003

The Viva Ziva album is in parts floating and in parts manic guitar driven indie rock. Viva Ziva have previously released Stranger Eyes EP and the album continues on the same lines of uncompromised approach to making music. The album is available at Levykauppa Äx (Oulu) and at Fazer Musiikki (Oulu).
