Mle has announced plans to release their major label debut Devils & Angels on April 3rd! The album was produced by in-demand studio wiz and 2006 Grammy Award nominee for “Producer of the Year” Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Hoobastank).

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.

Melee signed to Hopeless Records in 2003 to release an EP followed by the full length Everyday Behavior which sold 15,000 copies and led to a major-label bidding war. Melee signed with Warner Bros. Records in Sept. 2005.

You can preview the single “Built to Last” and the tracks “Drive Away” and “Frequently Baby” on Melee’s new media player – www.hyfntrak.com/melee/fan/.

Melee made their own video for “Built to Last,” the first single off Devils & Angels. Feel free to check it out and feature it on your site – youtube.com/watch?v=EvPE60mMYF8
