Supercell

Dear Friends,

For the last 4 years, I have dedicated every waking moment of my life to the success of SUPERCELL. So it is with a mixture of joy, sadness and sincere thanks that I inform you I will no longer sing for SUPERCELL, as of 12/17/05. Last month, SUPERCELL arrived at a crossroads and collectively, along w/ our management, myself and some trusted friends of the band, Shannon, Mark, Nick and Moonshine decided it was time to make a change. It was decided that, in the interest of the future of the band, the change will come in the form of a new singer, new band name and new songs.

Through the years, I have met many, many wonderful people, traveled to many cool places, played with some great bands, bonded with friends and ultimately lived my childhood dream of playing on some huge stages and line-ups that I surely felt might swallow me alive; Edgefest 2004 & 2005, the 2005 Weenie Roast and Bands in the Sand 2004 & 2005 will ever remain a part of my heart. To that end, I cannot thank 102.1 FM The Edge enough for giving me a legitimate shot to succeed. Jagger, Julie, Paula, Dean, Jesus, Ayo, Jessie, Bret, Chris, Travis and "Big Daddy" Duane... there just aren't words to express my gratitude for allowing me to be a part of your radio station; thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for helping me to live that child's dream as you did. To each of you, in the music industry, that took time to work with me... thank you, as well. You know who you are and you have humbled my heart with the trust, dedication and hard work you put in SUPERCELL.

Having been a founding member of the band I can't say I ever actually say I saw this day coming. And though I'm sad to see it happen, I do welcome this new chapter of my life... whatever it may bring. And though I am leaving, I do hope that everyone knows how very important SUPERCELL is to me and that a piece of me dies, as I walk away from this band. It's also important for you to know that I remain close with my brothers and even though they carry on without me, I wish them the best of luck. For me, I can't surely say what happens next. But at some point I hope to begin managing, producing and booking bands because that's something I have successfully done for many years, with my own bands, and was something I always enjoyed. With respect to my boys, I certainly hope the reformation of SUPERCELL achieves the next level of fame and adoration that I know each of them, individually and collectively, deserve and are capable of reaching. So I genuinely hope that each of you chooses to support the new band in their search for someone new and I hope you embrace that new singer, whoever that happens to be.

In closing, as we wrap up this 4 year chapter you have come to know as SUPERCELL, I would like to personally invite each fan, friend and colleague of SUPERCELL to take the opportunity to join us, at the remaining club and in-store acoustic shows (Denton, Deep Ellum, Virgin-Grapevine Mills Mall, Border's-Vista Ridge Mall, Abilene, Ft. Worth and finally Dallas again on 12/17). I'd love the opportunity to say goodbye to everyone and sing for you, just a few last times. Thank you, for all of your support; hope to see you at the shows.

Yours Truly,
Jason Wheelington, SUPERCELL

Rock and roll, America's musical foundation was built on it and historically speaking no one does it better. From Elvis Presley to Guns N' Roses to Nirvana, Americans are known for setting the standard in Rock music; and in this day of "nu" this and "post" that SUPERCELL emerges under the heading of just one simple label: Rock band.

A more detailed description might say SUPERCELL's sound is mainstream, radio-oriented, Alternative-Rock rooted in "old school pop" with a trace of current Modern Rock mixed in for good measure. Citing influences like Motley Crue, Stone Temple Pilots & Linkin Park, singer Jason Wheelington, guitarists Shannon Nedved & Mark Sims, bassist Nick Holmes and drummer Moonshine collectively meld together other influences too that range from Madonna, U2 and Guns n' Roses to Our Lady Peace, Chevelle and Hoobastank; ultimately creating a truly original sound that will leave you yearning for more. SUPERCELL's live shows always resonate with an intensity that leaves the audience hoarse, sweaty and smiling and given that propensity for powerful live performances, combined with the mass-market appeal of their infectious musical hooks, it is no wonder SUPERCELL has shared the stage with major artists of multiple musical genres (Hoobastank, Seether, Billy Idol, Crossfade, Sum 41, Bowling for Soup, Evanescence, John Mellancamp, Sheryl Crow, Fuel, Something Corporate, Breaking Benjamin, Skindred, Three Days Grace & many others). In addition to being a part of KDGE's 1st Annual Summer Weenie Roast in 2005, the band has also taken part in KDGE's annual "Bands in the Sand" promotion, taking them to Jamaica, for 2 straight years. In 2004 SUPERCELL headlined the sidestage at Edgefest 13. In 2005 SUPERCELL graduated to Smirnoff Music Centre's mainstage for a sold-out Edgefest 14.

Music reviewer Andrew Ellis, of http://popmatters.com , says "SUPERCELL could justifiably claim to be one of the best unsigned rock bands in the U.S." Factor in the band members' light-hearted attitudes and on-air ease behind the microphone and it's easy to see why the band fast-became regular guests on KDGE 102.1 FM's "The Morning Edge". Look for SUPERCELL in theaters as well, as they were handpicked by Academy Award winning film Producer Curt Johnson to be included in the feature film "West Memphis Three", as well as the indie documentary Michael Moore Hates America (2004). Additionally, since Summer 2004, SUPERCELL has been a Budweiser True Music band; as they were been selected as one of only 2 rock bands to represent the Dallas/Ft. Worth market. Whether it's a radio jock, an online fanzine or even an award-winning film Producer the buzz about SUPERCELL keeps getting louder and louder and many expect SUPERCELL to remain a staple of the American Rock music scene for some time to come.

SUPERCELL is currently out on the road touring in support of their 1st full length record THE NEW AMERICAN STANDARD. This breakout release was Produced by Zac Maloy (formerly of The Nixons ) and is a follow up to their critically acclaimed GENERATION OF THE NUMB EP. THE NEW AMERICAN STANDARD's 1st single "Swept Away" received Commercial Radio airplay across the U.S. (from TX to SC to NY and all points in between) and was a multi-market, undefeated, Cock-Fight Champion, as well. Currently, their follow-up single, "Satellite" is receiving airplay in markets across the country with more and more Commercial FM radio stations discovering SUPERCELL each week.
