New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Elephant 12 official website) As rock music has progressed from the 90s up to the present day, it has sprouted too many offshoots to mention. Many times these offshoots intersect and form new genre mashups. Such is the case with UK formed band Elephant 12. Their music incorporates elements of rock, rap, and electro. The band has described their sound as "a unique hybrid of electro/rock with a punk attitude. As a band we push a simple lyrical message alongside a blend of musical styles and sounds without trampling all over the key elements that make our love of music so exhilarating."
This hard edged, but danceable, three piece band fuses the heavy guitar sound and the energy style of Rage Against the Machine with the rhythm and pop radio appeal of
Outkast and Nerd. This is evident on their song "Love Knock on Wood" which incorporates a catchy rock rhythm with a pop vocal hook, demonstrating that Elephant 12 is perfectly capable of following any artistic path that interests them.
Elephant 12 is Andy Metro who programs the beats, Robbie Pinna who plays guitar and Thelonious Jones on vocals. Elephant 12 is influenced by heavy rock artists like Rage Against the Machine,
Nine Inch Nails and
Ritchie Blackmore, but also r&b artist like Sam Cooke, and hip hop performers like the
Roots and Outkast. Aside from music, the band is inspired by human behaviors, relationship, spirituality and love. They have been exciting audiences in this year with shows in Toronto, NYC to Texas, but now it's time for these guys to get some attention in the music world beyond. The biggest thrill for Elephant 12 is creating music from scratch, taking the initial concept of a song and seeing it through to a final product that audiences can enjoy and participate in. The band has modest goals of simply getting a little more exposure, gaining listeners and press and turning new people onto their unique blend of styles.
