If you can't decide whether you like Bring Me The Horizon or Taylor Swift, listen to Latvian band Cellar Cat.
They started as an indie rock and Britpop band, but since the arrival of all the current members in 2015, they have transformed into the full-fledged alternative rock and metal group that they are now. In 2023, they became one of the six finalists of the Latvian part of the Wacken Metal Battle.
In general, Cellar Cat don't care too much about genre restrictions - they simply try to make music that sounds great. Sometimes it's metal, sometimes it's romantic and sometimes it's romantic metal. As a result, they appeal to a wider audience and can serve as a gateway to heavy metal for some listeners.
Cellar Cat won several Latvian music competitions, got their songs on Latvian radio and played at many festivals, including Labadaba, Live at Heart and the Eastern European final of Emergenza.
At the end of 2021, Cellar Cat released their first EP entitled "Broken Glass", several music videos later followed, including a video with Eissa Morphide of the band Morphide for the song "Living Dead" and the synth track "Freedom".
