Influences:
Sounds Like: D.O.A. "...psychedelic, catchy, and unquestionably clever, Cellar Steps dusky tunes are played with a certain confidence and bravado that so many new bands lack...It is just cool in every sense of the word. Its a chilled-out, mellowed-out, rocked-out trip that astronauts and sci-fi nerds can enjoy along with mundane earth dwellers like us. Turn the lights down, the volume up, chill out, and let the twilight guitars and celestial sounds of Cellar Steps be your own personal Hubble." | Midwest Tunes "...the tight arrangements, almost paradoxically, allow these songs to be more frenetic than those that most claim to be crazy. These songs may not be crazy, but they are definitely crazed..." |Bloodmobile Magazine "...finally, a band that brings back the sounds I grew up with while cutting the grass with a walkman the size of a car battery slung to my hip, mouthing the words to Sunglasses at Night, and thinking, if this is where the radio is at, I want more. Cellar Steps is at once personally nostalgic and reminiscent of the future of American music..."..

A sneak version of the tune Doorbell is up there in the player. It is unmastered, so a bit rougher than the final version, for you non audiophiles. For you audiophiles, stay tuned. This thing will ...
