Soon after Kyle introduced Tom Marshall to the concept who was fully on board to achieve the things proposed even though he’d never touched a bass. The pair started gigging with
then friend Tom Watkins to master what would become the sound of Stubblemelt. After a small time, and various formulas the pair found drumming sensation David Ashford fresh out of Uni.

The band was in full flow early 2011 and Kyle started writing what would becoome See Your Lovers, Blood Money and Lifetime. EP, ‘The Search’ was released August 21 2011. It is available on iTunes with "Lifetime" and was recorded in the historical Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham City with Andy Taylor (early "Twang" and "Editors") All tracks on the EP, and
Lifetime were written by Frontman, Kyle Perry, with the exception of Angry Troll and Lord of the Gods, co-written by Tom Marshall.

The Band went on to self finance a 26 date tour in 2012, sharing the EP across the country, for which we received outstanding applause. The band then suffered a set back when then lead guitarist and long time friend Tom Watkins decided to concentrate on
his career path as the band was getting too big to deal with and commit to. Kyle, Tom, and Dave now stronger than ever began an audition process that would eventually introduce them to Mat Giles who joined late 2013.

The Debut 14 track Album, ‘Gypaetus Barbatus’ was released May 16 2014, which took a magnificent 16 months to write, produce and master, hitting the Studio in Mansfield with producer Simon Hopkinson at Electric-Bear. Amy Collins jumped aboard The Melt mid recording process and had her stamp on the full album, further introducing her Saxophone skills on tracks ‘Cant be True’ & ‘Only A Kiss’ which is a track that Kyle used an organ donated by a family friend.

The band went on to sell out the Flapper in Birmingham on two consecutive nights for the release of the album and gained great reviews.
