Melee – Devils & Angels

Melee is a piano-pop-rock band from Orange Country, California. Although their previous release “Everyday Behavior” was about as mediocre as piano-driven rock can be “Devils & Angels” definitely makes up for it. I’m not too sure what they mean by naming themselves Melee or why they chose such strange album art for their recent release but these guys still have some powerful music. Their singer (Chris Cron) has a very exceptional singing ability and it adds a lot to the personality and depth of their songs, and they have done outstandingly well with making fast paced dance-provoking music and still staying true to their piano roots. With such a huge amount of piano-rock bands Melee is still able to bring something else to the table that most bands lack, originality.

Paulson – All At Once

Paulson is a very flavorful indie-rock band from Midland Park, New Jersey signed to Doghouse Records. Their latest release entitled “All At Once” is a surprising and very much appreciated combination of just about every current rock music style. Each song off the album has its own personal sound and genre that isn’t completely duplicated again in the CD but all in all you can tell all the songs work well together. This music is pretty danceable and has a lot to offer for just about everyone.

The Little Ones

The Little Ones are a surprisingly exciting indie-pop based out of Los Angeles. With only one EP released these guys are still managing to gain popularity through their rigorous touring schedules and incredibly upbeat style. The Little Ones are on the verge of being a multi-instrumental experimental pop band but still hold on to an underlying rock n’ roll base. With happy music and great album artwork these guys have started their musical careers out right.
