Notable Mentions

"New & Notable: The Zells' gloriously messy mash-up of post-punk, garage rock, and shoegaze is snotty enough to be considered plain old punk.” - Bandcamp

"The latest single from rough and riffy Pittsburgh five-piece The Zells arrives enrobed in melody and riding in a flaming chariot of fuzz. Well, less of a chariot, more of a flaming sedan. “Hell Car” heralds their upcoming sophomore record Ant Farm in a hyper-catchy two-minute blast.” - FLOOD Magazine

“From the off-kilter twang of guitar to the husky, but welcoming vocals of its members, The Zells deliver on one memorable ode to the worst part about brunch — the people” - The Grey Estates

“After a few tour tapes and a teaser single, the band’s debut burned with thirteen slacker punk and power-pop anthems, rooted in accessibility but built on big overdriven fuzz melodies. There’s some pop-punk and shades of ramshackle emo in there, but it’s a fun album that feels as though you should indeed be shouting along with the band in some sweaty basement.” - Post-Trash
