The 440 Alliance
- Sound Description:
- Cellos. Hip-hop beats. Turntables. Guitar. Drums. This band is wreaking havoc on our genre classification system. But they rock.
- Recommended:
- Hearing "Miserlou" and "Don't Stop Believin'" played by cellos
Based in Arlington, TX
Four cellists forsake their classical ways to form a group the likes of which have never been seen. The 440 Alliance combines classical training with the stylings of classic rock, hip hop, Nintendo, and other madness that will astound you. Oh yeah, there's also drums and turntables.
It all sounds like Mozart, Led Zeppelin and Dr. Dre collaborating at a summer backyard barbeque.
