DALLAS, TX - Alternative-rock band Supercell from Dallas, Texas was recently handpicked, by Academy Award winner Curt Johnson, to be included on the soundtrack to the upcoming West Memphis Three film, scheduled for release in Summer of 2004.

After seeing them perform live, Johnson immediately offered the band the first slot on the soundtrack. “It's great to be signing one of the best up and coming bands to the West Memphis Three film soundtrack. Supercell is one of the best up and coming bands I've heard in a very long time and I look forward to working with them on this project." says Johnson.

While many music industry insiders have tapped Supercell as the next band to break from Dallas, Johnson was shocked to find that the band did not yet have a major label deal.
