Mêlée

Warners

WE SAY

Californian band Mêlée's major label debut album 'Angels & Devils' is out this summer through Warners, preceded by this Howard Benson-produced (My Chemical Romance, All-American Rejects) single. It's shaping up to be a radio hit already and chart success can't be far behind. It fits into Maroon 5 or The Fray radio-friendly territory - a polished-sounding, uplifting pop hit. This was a Record of the Week with Ken Bruce on R2 5 weeks from release, and added straight to R2's A-list four weeks upfront. Wider commercial radio support should follow from Bauer and Gcap. Mêlée tour the UK with with The Rocket Summer in July. JF
