Band History

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.
