Melonball hit fast and do not let up on “Ally or Alibi.” Straight out of Germany, this is high-speed punk rock that still manages to stay melodic and clean. No chaos, no slop, no mess. Just pace, precision, and a hook that actually lands.
The first thing that grabs you is the female vocal delivery. Confident, sharp, and completely in control, it cuts through the speed without getting swallowed. Even at full throttle, every line is clear and every melody comes through. That balance is not easy to pull off at this tempo, and Melonball make it sound natural.
Musically, the track is tight and polished without losing energy. Guitars are crisp and driving, the drums stay locked and relentless, and the whole thing feels dialed in. This is fast punk done with discipline, not just enthusiasm. You can tell they care about structure as much as speed.
What works here is that it never turns into noise. Even at its quickest, “Ally or Alibi” stays melodic. The hooks are there, the flow makes sense, and nothing feels rushed or thrown together. It is aggressive, but it is also smart.
There is a modern edge to the production, clean and sharp, but it does not kill the spirit. It actually helps the song hit harder. Everything is where it should be, and that gives the track a punch that sloppy recordings never achieve.
“Ally or Alibi” feels like a band fully aware of their strengths and leaning into them. Fast, melodic, polished, and confident. Melonball are not guessing here. They are executing.
