Relikc is a young and dynamic alternative funk band made up of five members, namely Keith Zammit (vocals), Luke Grech (guitars), Ivan Giordano (bass), Joseph Axiak (keyboards), and Robert Spiteri (drums)

2009 was a very busy year for Relikc. The band breathlessly crammed its schedule with a multitude of gigs. Relikc also recorded two of its early originals “Tomorrow” and “Mindwreck” and established its position in the local music scene pushing through with its particular style and variety of sound. After achieving two awards in Toni Sant’s annual listeners’ poll, one for each of the previously mentioned tracks (Top Online Release and Top Single respectively), Relikc further sought to spread its music.Relikc Band Members

2010 was even busier, with more gigs awaiting the band including a second appearance at the Great Farson’s Beerfest. It was a year which brought about a remoulding of Relikc’s progressive and slightly heavy style of music, shifting instead to a mixture of funk and alternative sounds. Influences include bands such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Maroon 5, Franz Ferdinand, Jamiroquai and Tower Of Power. The release of the single “Rollercoaster” was clear evidence of the band’s change, which ultimately proved to be a great decision as the track was welcomed by the fans, and was an instant hit on local airwaves and radio charts.

Early in 2011, the band was selected over a number of entries in a competition by Crazebook, the prize of which was a music video sponsored by No Sweat Productions. A few months later and under the direction of Nick Morales, Relikc were back with a video to complement their newest single “Take The Blame”, barely weeks after its release. Following on Rollercoaster’s tracks, it became the band’s second single to enter the local airwaves and make it to the top radio charts.
