Cell were a New York–based rock band. They were often labeled as a grunge band due to the time frame of their existence, though they could be considered college rock or alternative rock. The band formed in 1990 and disbanded in 1995. Championed by Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, they released a 7-inch on his Ecstatic Peace! label. This single listed 'Letha' on bass(likely Letha Rodman from the New York City band Ruby Falls) and contained the song "Stratosphere" later rerecorded for their debut once signed to Geffen subsidiary DGC Records.
