[edit] Profile
Mêlée is a pop-punk quartet from Orange County, California.
The quartet – Chris Cron (vocals, keyboards, guitar), Ricky Sans (guitar, vocals), Ryan Malloy (bass) and Mike Nader (drums) – recently finished recording their major-label debut for Warner Bros. Records. Produced by Modern Rock master Howard Benson (All American Rejects, My Chemical Romance, Hoobastank, Papa Roach), the disc will shortly be mixed by Tim Palmer (U2, Pearl Jam, Switchfoot) and is due out in Spring 2007. Melee will kick off a major tour with Wheatus and Brandtson on September 16th, beginning with the Uprising Festival in Irvine, California along with Relient K, Mae, Copeland, and others.
Over the past couple of years, Mêlée has appeared on the Warped Tour and Take Action! Tour, sharing the stage with Copeland, The Donnas, Bowling for Soup, Sugarcult, Motion City Soundtrack and Starting Line, among others. After touring exhaustively and selling 15,000 copies of their 2004 release, Everyday Behavior (Sub City/Hopeless), the band became the subject of a major-label bidding war before inking with Warner Bros. Records A&R chief Craig Aaronson.
The band entered pre-production on their major-label with roughly 31 songs in the works.
