SUPERCELL: 12/31/01 - 12/17/2005
Rock and roll, Americas musical foundation was built on it and historically speaking no one does it better. From Elvis Presley to Guns N Roses to Nirvana, Americans are known for setting the standard in Rock music; and in this day of nu this and post that SUPERCELL emerges under the heading of just one simple label; Rock band.
A more detailed description might say SUPERCELLs sound is mainstream, radio-oriented, Alternative-Rock rooted in old school Pop with a trace of current Modern Rock mixed in for good measure. Citing influences like Motley Crue, Stone Temple Pilots & Linkin Park singer Jason Wheelington, guitarists Shannon Nedved & Mark Sims, bassist Nick Holmes and drummer Moonshine collectively meld together other influences too that range from Madonna, U2 and Guns n Roses to Our Lady Peace, Chevelle and Hoobastank; ultimately creating a truly original sound that will leave you yearning for more. SUPERCELLs live shows always resonate with an intensity that leaves the audience hoarse, sweaty and smiling and given that propensity for powerful live performances, combined with the mass-market appeal of their infectious musical hooks, it is no wonder SUPERCELL has shared the stage with major artists of multiple musical genres (Hoobastank, Seether, Billy Idol, Crossfade, Sum 41, Bowling for Soup, Evanescence, John Mellancamp, Sheryl Crow, Fuel, Something Corporate, Breaking Benjamin, Skindred, Three Days Grace & many others). In addition to being a part of KDGEs 1st Annual Summer Weenie Roast in 2005, the band has also taken part in KDGEs annual Bands in the Sand promotion, taking them to Jamaica, for 2 straight years. In 2004 SUPERCELL headlined the sidestage at Edgefest 13. In 2005 SUPERCELL graduated to Smirnoff Music Centres mainstage for a sold-out Edgefest 14.
Music reviewer Andrew Ellis, of Popmatters.com, says SUPERCELL could justifiably claim to be one of the best unsigned rock bands in the U.S. Factor in the band members light-hearted attitudes and on-air ease behind the microphone and its easy to see why the band fast-became regular guests on KDGE 102.1 FMs The Morning Edge. Look for SUPERCELL in theaters as well, as they were handpicked by Academy Award winning film Producer Curt Johnson to be included in the feature film WEST MEMPHIS THREE (TBR), the indie documentary MICHAEL MOORE HATES AMERICA (2004), as well as the Sony Pictures release STRIKING RANGE starring Lou Diamond Phillips (of La Bamba fame). Additionally, since Summer 2004, SUPERCELL has been a Budweiser True Music band; as they were been selected as one of only 2 rock bands to represent the Dallas/Ft. Worth market. Whether its a radio jock, an online fanzine or even an award-winning film Producer the buzz about SUPERCELL keeps getting louder and louder and many expect SUPERCELL to remain a staple of the American Rock music scene for some time to come.
SUPERCELL spent 2005 out on the road touring in support of their 1st full length record THE NEW AMERICAN STANDARD. This breakout release was Produced by Zac Maloy (formerly of The Nixons) and was a follow up to their critically acclaimed GENERATION OF THE NUMB EP. THE NEW AMERICAN STANDARDs 1st single Swept Away received Commercial Radio airplay across the U.S. (from TX to SC to NY and all points in between) and was a multi-market, undefeated, Cock-Fight Champion, as well. Their follow-up singles, "Satellite" & "Sober" also received airplay in markets across the country.
As was given to Swept Away and many other Supercell songs, "SOBER" was recently awarded GarageBand.com's "Track of the Day" for 11/17/06 and Modern Rock "Track of the Week" for 3/5/07!
