Monolith at Tycho – http://www.youtube.com/monolithattycho

Cleveland’s latest post-rock instrumental band makes it’s Grog Shop debut. Monolith brings a breath of fresh air to a scene starting to grow stagnant with “Explosions in the Sky” rip offs. Look for a 10″ on Cellar Door Records in the spring.

Joshua Jesty – http://www.myspace.com/joshuajesty | http://www.thejoshuaweb.net

Josh, most known as the singer for the now defunct, This is Exploding, has since taken to recording and performing as a solo artist. Recently named best solo music artist in Cleveland Scene’s Best of Cleveland Readers Choice, Josh continues to be a driving creative force in Cleveland. You can download his stellar album “Girl” for free at his website.

Hello Timebomb – http://www.myspace.com/justinmarkert
Hello Timebomb is Justin Markert’s new band. Justin has been playing around cleveland here and there for a number of years, whether with his now disbanded indie/pop rock group “Swimming with Angels” or as a solo artist, Justin has opened for a slew of national acts including, Sondre Lerche, Mason Jennings, Brandon Benson, Denison Witmer, Duncan Sheik and more. After laying low for a few years, Justin is currently recording an ep with Keith Vance that will be out on Cellar Door Records in March.

Doug Ivancic – http://www.myspace.com/keepcalm
Doug Ivancic is a singer/songwriter who spent most of his years in Madison Ohio. His songs are rich in lyrical layering, recalling the talents of Tom Waits, Neil Young and Chris Martin. Doug is also gearing up to release an ep later in 2010.

Rob Geer - http://www.myspace.com/robgeer

Rob is a young kid with a big voice. Sounding years ahead of his actual age, Rob is a great songwriter. See his myspace for numerous videos of him playing originals and covers from Bon Iver.

Thanks

Come on out. It’s Nemeths for crying out loud.

The Slow Blade will be playing a show at the Grog Shop on February 21st. This is the Ultrasound Records 14th anniversary show. Ultrasound Records is one of our favorite record stores in the Cleveland area.

The band will have copies of their Cellar Door Records release “Kill the Lights” available at the show.

Be there.

We’d like to thank everyone who came out to the Cellar Door Records “Frozen Hellsicles”/”The Slow Blade” CD release show. It was a huge success. We sold over 150 cds from each artist. It was a great night and we look forward to what the future holds.

Here’s a blurb that the Free Times ran the week of the show:

BEHIND (and in front of) THE MUSIC


Well ladies and gentlemen, the time has arrived. We are very excited to announce that Cellar Door Records will be releasing two albums simultaneously. On May 16th, 2008 at the Grog Shop we will be releasing the long awaited full length debut from The Frozen Hellsicles, titled: “Oh No Wait A Minute.” We will also be releasing the brand new full length from The Slow Blade, titled: “Kill the Lights.” Of course both bands will be performing that night along with special guests The Uncanny Xela. All three of these bands have a history with Cellar Door so this will be a very special night for us. Admission to the show is $10 and that gets you copies of BOTH cds. Show starts at 9pm sharp. Check back soon for sound clips from the album.

The Frozen Hellsicles album “Oh No Wait A Minute” was recorded and mixed by Todd Tobias (Guided By Voices, Robert Pollard) at Waterloo Studios in Kent and “Kill the Lights” by The Slow Blade was recorded by Keith Vance at home.
