Elliot Minor – Still Figuring Out
With three hit singles already under their belt, York quintet Elliot Minor have quietly infiltrated the charts and are poised to crash into the mainstream in a major fashion.
Heralded by Kerrang! as “Muse meeting Fall Out Boy”, the band have already charted with their debut ‘Parallel Worlds’ and the Top 20 follow-up’s ‘Jessica’ and ‘The White One Is Evil’, they also played to a 10,000 capacity festival crowd at Download’s Dimebag Darrell Stage and supported Fall Out Boy on their UK tour. It’s evident that Elliot Minor are Britain’s biggest best kept secret.
Receieving incredible early support from Radio 1, XFM, Capitol, GCap, Emap, Kerrang!, Total Rock and amazing TV support from Kerrang, MTV, Skuzz, The Sound and E4 Music, the guys also have an incredibly healthy MySpace page (currently at well over 1,000,000 profile views and growing). Their webisodes are hilarious, informative and some of the most viewed on YouTube.
Elliot Minor are currently mixing their debut album. Produced by Jim Wirt (Hoobastank, Incubus) , their self titled album was recorded in Los Angeles earlier this year.
Musically, Elliot Minor mix influences ranging from the piano-infused hard rock of ‘Time After Time’ to the sonically charged ‘Parallel Worlds’, which is embellished with grandiose orchestration. They deliver pitch perfect three-way vocal harmonies on the infectious ‘The White One is Evil’ and add an undertone of ultra-melodic punk to ‘Still Figuring It Out’. Their video for “Jessica” was the most requested video on Kerrang TV.
In the live arena, Elliot Minor perform with an accomplishment that belies their youth. Be sure to catch them at a show near you on their UK tour in early 2008…
