Rock n Roll w/Strings

Afghan Whigs/Twilight Singers. Very similar use of cello, maybe leaning harder to the rock/R+B side of things though.

Thanks all for the responses. They've certainly covered a lot of ground!

PS Maxnewid - thanks for the heads up on Room of Songs. I thought that I owned everything Alejandro has ever recorded, but I must have missed that one somehow.

Apocalyptica may rock a bit too hard for many tastes as it's right on the edge of Heavy Metal, but these guys are very talented indeed. Saw them in concert once when they backed Metallica. Wouldn't expect a string trio to work in a rock 'n' roll atmosphere, but it does. Quite impressively I might ad.

Apocalyptica's first album of Metallica covers changed my perception of
Metallica's music and gave it a lot of credibility for the first time. It's
perhaps the purest example of strings mainly doing rock music
successfully. The cellos do a great job of delivering the power and attack
of the original electric guitar works.
