Influenced by the songwriting classicism of piano men Elton John, Coldplay’s Chris Martin, and neo-soul star John Legend, Mêlée present their own style of carefully crafted melodic pop on Devils & Angels, the quartet’s debut album for Warner Bros. Records, which will be released on April 3rd. The songs, which range from driving pop-rock anthems to uplifting power ballads, are characterized by solid hooks, lilting melodies, and frontman Chris Cron’s soaring vocals and expressive piano-playing.
On tracks like first single, «Built to Last,» Mêlée display a grown-up songcraft, one with an unabashed emotionalism uncommon in young bands these days. Upon first listen, Devils & Angels may sound like an album full of relationship songs, but dig deeper and you’ll find reflections on «getting in fights with friends, songs about friends coming home from college and not being able to get jobs,» says Cron. «The album is about being in your ’20s in modern America. It’s about our experiences right now - with life, love, friends - and asking questions about where we’re going and what’s going to happen. That’s the whole theme.»
Adds guitarist Ricky Sans: «There are obviously several really optimistic love songs, but others have to do with problems that our friends and loved ones were going through.» «Imitation» deals with one of Sans’ girlfriends finding out that her sister was schizophrenic. «I was carrying a lot of weight dealing with this broken family who were being torn apart by all this crazy stuff,» he says. «And the song is about how there’s nothing you can do but hope for the best and be there for the people in your life.»

These guys are almost as underrated as SR-71. And yes their music is a bit like a formula, but it's definitely easy to listen to and the lyrics are amazing. Can't Hold On is the one that got me into them. <3

Why does nobody knows this band? And even worse, why does nobody seems to like their amazing Queen-cover?

This is what some would call "formula music": every note seems to be placed according to a rulebook on how to create pop rock music. It's not bad, in fact it's pretty darn pleasant, but the absence of idiosyncrasy makes it a worthless listening for me. I agree with Whiskey Blanket when they say that "truly rocking is giving people what they don't expect".

this is my favourite band love their new album my favourite song is the ballad of you and it's so BEAUTIFUL, lets face it not one song disappoints me because they are so darn amazing and their performances are out of this world . COME BACK TO THE U.K.- when you go FIRST STOP come to LONDON (got that folks), hahaha i'd like Last fm to pass on this message to sensational Melee everyone around the world is your no 1 fan (it's nice when you say that so you can not be selfish- i was goimg to make a joke but its very lame i tried it on my friends at school and all there was is silence, crickets and tumbleweed) Anyway get Melee to do a UK or World tour for the desperate fans like me and my friends :) from FMGEEK
