Melee, which re-directs here is a thrashcore band. At least two other artists are represented here.
One is Ben Hall, Hans Buetow and Nate Wooley.
Another is described below:

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, 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.
