Hot off the Press
Our debut LP “I” on Neon Taste Records (Canada) and Erste Theke Tontraeger (Germany) is now available!
“…Drenched in chorus effects, with desperate, panicky vocals and melodramatic drum compositions, this record delivers a sound likely to appeal to fans of angsty Northwestern punk like the OBSERVERS and the WIPERS. This record stands apart from the pack with a strong leaning toward classic death rock and a subtle surf vibe that peeks through intermittently. The vocals forgo cool guy slickness, instead veering toward Roz Williams territory—a welcome break from the norm.”
Maximum Rocknroll
“…Desperation, angst and frustration pepper the words that twist and turn like daggers to the back of emperors. Twin guitar attacks carry melody and smart chord changes backed by a rhythm section that runs the risk of falling off the edge of the cliff. It’s complimented by a brooding vocalist that half shouts-half sings. Schuman’s dark poetry shifts from anxious foreboding of the modern world in ‘Cognation’, to the gothic storytelling that makes up ‘Listen.'”
Neon Waste
Dead Cells are based out of the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh, and Squamish peoples.
