The best way to describe this band
would be “Torche meets KEN Mode” in the most harmonious way
possible. The album is a plethora of serpentine riffs from “Demagogue” and “Bury
me on Highway 3”, to the outright sludgy plod of “Out of Phase” and “White Lines. This record is for anyone searching for something
slightly different in the myriad of heavy music releases this year

The Review:
Cellos continue the legacy of great Canadian Noise Rock under the No List Records Label
(LP via Harbour
House Records). The best way to describe this band would be “Torche meets KEN Mode” in the most harmonious way
possible. The album is a plethora of serpentine riffs from “Demagogue” and “Bury me on Highway 3”, to the outright sludgy plod of “Out of Phase” and “White Lines”. “The Great Leap
Backward” is an emotional rollercoaster that could be best encapsulated by
the song “Snake Charmer”; a track
that lulls you with a hypnotic opening riff, only to change course with the
noise rock twist of Kittens.
Cellos “The Great Leap Backward” has so much crossover
appeal that putting it into a sub genre would only cheapen its potential to a
wider audience. This record is for anyone searching for something slightly
different in the myriad of heavy music releases this year.
