1) Maybe there is life in… Read Full Bio ↴There are 4 groups the use the name Excel:
1) Maybe there is life in Venice, CA, that doesn't involve the beach; iron pumpers and Suicidal Tendencies, since that's all you seem to hear about. Yes? Of course, there is always EXCEL! Their demos were major impression sessions and now with the release of their first album "Split Image", the direction of EXCEL is officially exposed. Combining a rabble-rousing attack of metal with deep hardcore roots, the outcome is thick and heavy with sudden excursions into the rapids. Paced by ample guitar chunka chunka's axe man Adam Siegel works the frets on compositions that are interesting yet not overly original. Dan Clements' talk-singing type of vocal projection fits well with the EXCEL approach, and comes in at the right places. EXCEL is definitely brick material, hard and sturdy. Not suffering from snare core, they advance with sonic power and creep forth with an awesome fatness.
2) Excel is an ambient/drone collaboration of James Ferraro (the Skaters) and LaBanna Bly (P.A.R.A.)
3) There was also a power-pop band called Excel, their song "Rock Show" has appeared on a couple of compilations of obscure power-pop.

Looking for You
Excel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Then you turn and declare
That you're not with me
Where does that lead thee?
You became my enemy
How can I stand free
Your clone is so cruel
looking for you
In these lyrics, Excel is describing a situation where someone pretends to care about them but then suddenly declares that they are not interested in being with them. This betrayal turns this individual into an enemy, and they question how they can stand free while dealing with the cruelty of this person's clone. The lyrics end with the singer declaring that they are now looking for this individual, presumably to confront them about their behavior.
The lyrics capture the pain, confusion, and frustration of being misled by someone who is pretending to be interested in a relationship. The singer's desperate search for this person suggests that they are seeking closure or resolution for the pain they have experienced. The reference to the cruel clone adds an interesting layer to the song, suggesting that the person who betrayed the singer has also left a negative impact on those around them.
