about

THE YELLOW MELODIES bring us ‘Pleasant dreams’, a tribute to their favorite RAMONES album, which was originally released on 20th July 1981, so the gorgeous band from Murcia have made their release coincide with the 40th anniversary of that fantastic album produced by Graham Gouldman.

They have taken the songs to very different places, changing the electric guitars and distortion for synthesizers, glockenspiels, acoustic guitars, strings, keyboards and above all, vocal harmonies, extracting as much pop as possible from those original punk songs.

Antonio Galvañ (PARADE) has collaborated in “Come on now” as well as Ruth (VACACIONES) and Antonio (LOS ZAPATOS) have also recorded vocals in “All’s quiet on the eastern front”.

A beautiful album in which THE YELLOW MELODIES have not tried to do the same RAMONES’ sound as so many punk and garage groups have done for decades, but they have offered a different point of view, much more pop, being faithful to their sound of bright melodies, hedonistic attitude, and songs full of sunlight, love and youth, capable of recharging your day with positive energies.

This album is a co-release between four labels, Hurrah Musica, Snap Records, Old Bad Habits label and Discos Imprescindibles! On 300 copies!

Rafa Skam: Vocals, Backing Vocals, Programming, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Glockenspiel, Keyboards, Synthesizers and Arrangements.
Antonio Clares: Bass, Backing Vocals, Electric Guitar.
Carlos Abrisqueta: Programming.
José Ángel Hernández: Drums and Percussion.

Antonio Galvañ (Parade): Vocals, Programming, Bass, Keyboards and Synths on “Come on now”.
