THE CELLS BIO For a band with such exhilarating songs, the Cells are a tough band to label. They cobble together a 21st century sensibility with the sounds of pop, punk, glam, new wave, and straight-ahead rock and roll to create a pure blast of music for people who can't find anything they like on the radio. The Cells released their first disc, "We Can Replace You," on Orange Recordings (www.orangerecordings.com) in 2002. The disc garnered waves of favorable press and college and commercial radio play. The Cells toured the Eastern U.S. and played CMJ and the South by Southwest and CMJ music festivals. By early 2003, the Cells lineup that recorded "We Can Replace You” --(singer/guitarist Cory Hance, drummer Randy Payne, guitarist Pat McIntyre, founding bassist Brede Hovland and later bassist Rick Ness -- had parted ways, with McIntyre and Payne re-forming into the band Cisco Pike and Ness focusing on his own band. Hance decided to rebuild the Cells from scratch, recruiting drummer Mark Doyle (Woolworthy, Verbow, Loud Lucy) and bass player Johnny Furman (the Darlings, the Lupins, the Webb Bros.). The new lineup began performing and writing new songs together in mid/late 2003, incorporating a wider range of influences and creating the best Cells songs yet. Not long after, the Cells’ song “Silver Cloud” landed a spot as a free music sample in Dell computers Music Match software. It’s now available in almost every Dell computer being sold today, exposing the band to new fans from all over and building their visibility online. The band immediately went to work recording their second CD, "Mayday." It was recorded/produced by Andy Gerber at Million Yen Studios in Chicago and mixed by famed audio engineer Robert Scovill at the MusiCanvas Studio/Eldons Boy Productions in Scottsdale, AZ. The Cells finally released "Mayday," on Old Reliable Records ( www.oldreliablerecords.com ) in early 2007. Meanwhile, the Cells’ explosive, wrenching live shows and unforgettable songs continue to win over Chicago club-goers and listeners around the world. The Cells will promote “Mayday” in select cities while they write and record their next disc. |
