Elliot Minor Release Self Titled Debut Album

Already the biggest UK underground band that are quietly infiltrating the mainstream, York quintet Elliot Minor will crash into mainstream consciousness with the release their self-titled debut album. Download the album here

Produced by Jim Wirt (Incubus, Hoobastank, Something Corporate) and mixed by Neal Avron (Yellowcard, New Found Glory, Fall Out Boy), the album finds Elliot Minor mixing approaches 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 Out'.

The album features the hit singles 'Jessica' (#19), 'The White One Is Evil' (#27) and 'Still Figuring Out' (#17). The album is preceded by the infectious single, 'Parallel Worlds, which was released April 7th 2008.

After endlessly working their way towards bigger venues on each and every headline tour, Elliot Minor signed a major record deal with Warner Bros. Records towards the end of 2007. With three hits already under their belt, more than 1.9-million MySpace views and some of the most popular webisodes on YouTube, the band are poised to break in a major fashion in 2008. They've also played to a 10,000 capacity crowd at the Dimebag Darrell stage at Download and have also toured as guests to Fall Out Boy.

"A lot of the harmonies are classically based, so that whole side of my background is represented," says vocalist/guitarist Alex Davies who, like the rest of the band, comes from classically trained background. "Then there's the whole band performances backed by an orchestra that really emphasizes those instruments and the chord progressions."

Elliot Minor have just finished an extensive UK tour that concluded with their largest headline show to date at London's Astoria on April 12th 2008.
