Rock and roll, America's 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 emerged under the heading of just one simple label; Rock band.
A more detailed de_scription might say SUPERCELL's 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. SUPERCELL's live shows 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 KDGE's 1st Annual Summer Weenie Roast in 2005, the band has also taken part in KDGE's 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 Centre's 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 it's easy to see why the band fast-became regular guests on KDGE 102.1 FM's ""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).
In 2004 SUPERCELL was selected to be an official Budweiser True Music band and were one of only 2 rock bands to date to officially represent the Dallas/Ft. Worth market on True Music's behalf. Whether it's a radio jock, an online fanzine or even an award-winning film Producer the buzz about SUPERCELL keeps getting louder and louder and many expected 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, currently Producing for Sony Records) 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.
