MELANIE BAKER - Somebody Help Me, I’m Being Spontaneous! Pop Punk and her first release onLP Limited Edition Red Marble Vinyl. Melanie Baker makes music about everything that hurts and everything that feels just right. Based in Newcastle (UK), she writes with unflinching honesty songs that sway between noisy catharsis and quiet confession, between absurd humour and deep vulnerability. With pounding drums, fuzzy guitars, and tender lyrical precision, Baker reclaims the grit and spirit of 90s alt rock through a queer, modern lens.
