The Mellors are a refreshing, no frills unit whose roots go as far back as Vietnam-era-folk - without the political connotations. While the influences are apparent, by way of updating them, Jamie Lane and company come across as totally unique and exceedingly original.

NEWS & REVIEWS
Emerging from the rubble of two of Seattle, Washington's most celebrated bands, Tuffy and Floyds Ranch, surfaced The Mellors in late 2004. Led by singer/songwriter/guitarist Jamie Lane, the band’s self-titled debut was uncharacteristic from the majority of groups in the Emerald City as it embraced a Mid-Western sound that is organic with just a touch of Southern twanginess. Lane's musical background is vast and all encompassing as he has dabbled in everything from jazz to heavy-riff grunge. Like in Floyds Ranch, he now draws inspiration from legendary songwriters such as Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and Townes Van Zandt.
