CD Review: Supercell - The New American Standard

Review by: Emmett Lollis Jr.

Supercell’s mix of hard hitting guitars and fast paced flowing beats bring us an excellent album worthy of contending with today’s hottest mainstream rock bands. The New American Standard is produced by Zac Maloy formerly of the Nixons. One thing I have to say about The New American Standard is that there isn’t a bad track on the entire album which is rare in the days of so many one hit wonders. The following is a more detailed look at the band’s latest release.

When listening to the CD, Promises is the first song to really grab me. The chorus sticks in your memory after the first listen and the riffs bring an overall roundness making this a potential hit. Another great track from the album is Shine which slows down the pace with a catchy chorus and great guitar sound so prevalent in the album. Supercell’s Caroline and Perfect Part are excellent love ballads that will strike a chord with any listener. Generation of the Numb which was also the title track from their previous release still makes for an excellent anthem and its good to see they included it in The New American Standard.

In summary, Supercell is a band you will definitely want to keep your eye on in the coming months and years. They are destined to become mainstream and you know that you want to be the one to say you heard them first.
