Shaping pop and rock classics into string arrangements is nothing new in L.A., where the Section Quartet has been sawing and shredding for better than a decade. But a pair of hunky Ukrainian 24-year-olds, Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser, have burst on the scene with a new twist on the cover band. They are 2CELLOS. You may have heard of them when their take on Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” went viral; today, they released a new video that takes on Guns N’ Roses’ “Welcome to the Jungle.” Nice cello face, guys. (Their covers album, featuring those two songs and others by the likes of U2, Coldplay, Dick Dale and Muse, comes out July 19.)
