Gloucestershire new guns, Elessar, are braced to stamp their own imprint on
the currently buoyant Brit-rock scene with their stunning brand of
contagious punk rock. By pulling from the powers of Kids In Glass Houses,
Blink182 and Taking Back Sunday, the South-West crew unleash a captivating
sound that warrants attention.
Formed in 2015 by school friends, Ricky Powell (Vocals and Guitar), Alex
Evans (Guitar and Vocals), Jack Gambling (Bass) and Dan James (Drums), the
four piece melodic punk rock outfit have wasted no time in hitting the live
circuit. Already, the band have been praised for delivering energetic live
performances and have wooed audiences from Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester and
London to Exeter and beyond.
The ascending tunesmiths have now just finished working on tracks with
esteemed producer Romesh Dodangoda (Funeral For A Friend, The Blackout, Kids
In Glass Houses) and the first of which, 'Arrogance', will be nationally
released this May. 'Arrogance' showcases the band perfectly with a truly
delectable hook that is duly supported by weaving riffs. These punk rockers
wield a sharp knack for killer melody, and with key management now in place
courtesy of UAC, big things will happen this year. Stay glued to Elessar's
sites for announcements.
