   About The Cell Phones


We are a three-piece that formed in Chicago over a year ago and have since been playing various venues in the area. Our live performance is honest and straightforward; where excess vocals and effects lack we make up for in technicality and intensity. Most of our influences draw from 60's and 80's rock, but our sound lies on a foundation of Metal, Punk and New Wave; all of which Ryan and Justin have been experimenting with since middle-school. Lindsey on the other hand provides a dramatic pop element that brings accessibility to the overall sound, striking an essential contrast that most noise and grind bands tend to neglect. We aspire to be the wealthiest band in the world and one day perform on the Moon, no joke. We are also Chicago's 2009 'Battle of the Bands' Champions, hosted by Down Beat Studios and The Elbo Room (thanks to everyone who supported us!). Book Us Today, Book Us Today, Book Us O.K.

Hello I noticed that you offer Cellular Phone Service, I was introduced to this great opportunity and I would like to do the same for you. Imagine being able to receive Residual income offering Services that everyone already has, also giving your friends and customers around the world the freedom of choosing which providers they would like to sign with. Take a few moments and watch this quick video and let me know what you think. http://jamesbox.acnrep.com/v.asp?I=17134664500D&;

I caught your set.  Girl you can rock the stage something fierce.  And the boys have a bad ass sound.  Kick ass all the way around.  Hopefully we get to team up for some shows in the future.
