SoundClick artist: Sample Cell - A new fusion of Rock and Rap that'll amaze you.

I can definetely say that we have some amazing material, and unlike most bands, we started straight on originals from day one, no covers at all, which I feel helped us get our own sound, because we weren't influenced by covers that we'd play.

We've made a total new sound, it's sort of Alternative/Grunge/Rap, something new, let's put it that way. We don't really like labelling ourselves under a certain genre though, it just sets up limitations in our opinion.

Our songs and lyrics generally focus on the issues and we have a very solid sound, you're gonna love it.

We are-

Zeno- Guitar; Lead Emcee; Backing Vocals
Diverse- Drums; Vocals; Backing Emcee
Muzzel- Bass; Vocals
Joshua- Guitar; Vocals

Why this name?

Well, we don't have on. It's between No Kortion, The Fractured, New Limit, Broken Society and Zero One.

Do you play live?

Yeh, it's one of our strong points, we really have good energy on stage. I remember on one of our recent gigs we were playing Pretty and on about the third chorus everyone was singing it with us, although it's a brand new track to them. Felt really awesome.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

Alot, it's always great to get feedback from all over the world and spread you music around.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Definitely, it's our dream.

Band History:

Diverse and I started a Hip Hop band named Fatal Emotion January 2006, things didn't work out, we didn't have the right production equipment and things were a mess, so early December 2006 we made the transfer to what we are today, and then Muzzel joined the band, (Diverse's bro). We started knuckling down and played our first gig on the 1st of January 2007. Things have only been picking up since then and our album nearly completed. In June 2007 Joshua brought his touch into the band and we were complete.

All in all this band has only just taken ground, but things are progressing extremely well, that's all I got for now though.

Your influences?

Too many. Coheed and Cambria, Muse, a bit of Thrice, Metallica, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Nickelback, Linkin Park, Fort Minor, Styles of Beyond, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, not into gansta rap at all but I like rappers like Mike Shinoda, Will Smith, Dead Prez, Immortal Technique, P.O.D, Mattifix, Green Day, Gorillaz, +44, U2, System of a Down, American Hi-Fi, Saliva, Common, Sum 41, Mandoza, Finkelsteins, Just Jinger, Creed, Kanye West, Faithless and that's all I can think of at the moment.

Favorite spot?

Cape Town, South Africa

Equipment used:
