Cellular Chaos Explained

Cellular Chaos is an American noise-punk band from Brooklyn New York that was founded by Weasel Walter.[1] Music journalist Brad Cohan described the band's status as such:

"Cellular Chaos, black sheep of Brooklyn’s DIY noise-punk underground, have trudged on through myriad iterations, losing bassists at a furious clip and trading in drummers for drum machines while going label-less for a bulk of their lifespan. Still, these provocateurs have managed to churn out their gnarly and sweaty mishmash of glam raunch, rock histrionics and no wave noise-fuckery with a take-no-prisoners attitude.

Despite the roadblocks, Flying Luttenbachers mastermind Weasel Walter and vocalist Admiral Grey, the two constants of Cellular Chaos since its inception a half decade or so ago, have persevered, shoring up their lineup recently with drummer Rad Chaines and signing on with noise-rock institution Skin Graft Records.

That union has yielded fruit in the form of their Skin Graft debut, Diamond Teeth Clenched, a scorched-earth statement propelled by animalistic wailing, neck-snapping guitar blowouts and a rhythm section (the since-departed bass/drums combo of Shayna Dulberger and Marc Edwards) to die for."[2]

Background

Cellular Chaos was originally a trio, with Walter, Kevin Shea, and Ceci Moss.[3] Marc Edwards joined in 2010,[4] and singer Admiral Grey was recruited in 2012. After a short stint with Kelly Moran replacing Ceci Moss on bass, Shayna Dulberger joined on bass in 2013. [5] [6] The band added Rad Chaines on digital and live percussion in 2018, using synthesized bass for this period.[7] After a hiatus in 2020, Adam Shead joined on drums and Rad Chaines moved to bass guitar.[8]
