Melt Yourself Down make their debut TV appearance on Later… with Jools Holland this week - don’t miss it! The show is broadcast live on Tuesday, with the extended version going out on Friday night, plus of course you can catch it on the iPlayer later. They also go into the studio to record a session for John Kennedy’s Xfm show this week (which will air in the next couple of weeks).

MYD will be on the road in June, and their next London show, at Electrowerkz in Islington, will be their biggest headline show yet. All their upcoming dates are detailed on our live page (including appearances at Latitude Festival and Festival No. 6).

You can pre-order Melt Yourself Down’s self-titled album (out June 17) on limited edition vinyl, CD and digital in our shop or via MYD's Bandcamp, where you can also find the band's first two 12” singles, T-shirts and bags.

In other news, Morgan Beringer's mindwarping video for ‘Fix My Life’ was picked up by Vimeo as a 'Staff Pick' over the weekend. You can watch it here or on YouTube.
