Newest Industry Records


					Davey Burdon - Guitar / Vocals Neil Bassett - Drums / Cow Bell Dave Lyon - Bass FORMER CELL MATES answered their calling in the fruitless, barren wasteland that was the UK music scene of the new millennium. Armed with cheap guitars, premium lager and fatigued by the numerous insipid indie bedroom dwellers, punk rock fashionistas and pretenders to the rock and roll throne, the CELL MATES made it their aim to put the soul back into rock'n'roll. Original yet familiar, FORMER CELL MATES sound has often been likened to the punk rock garage frenzy of MUDHONEY combined with driving rock sensibilities of early POLICE with the ragged, drunken soul of THE REPLACEMENTS watching over them. This is hardly astounding when one takes into account their rock'n'roll resume, which includes such bands as THE COYOTE MEN, THE GOLDEN VIRGINS, LEATHERFACE and THE ILLEGAL MOVERS. The second half of 2005 saw their debut full length released on Newest Industry "Hustle" earned FORMER CELL MATES the international recognition they so richly deserve, combined with an explosive live show. FORMER CELL MATES become the answer to the question you've been asking yourself for years... FORMER CELL MATES WEBSITE FORMER CELL MATES ON MYSPACE HUSTLE Cat No : ZEN018 BUY THIS CD NOW!
