about

Elastikbande are a brand new Manchester based three piece (post punk / grunge / garage rock) outfit featuring ex members of The Fall / Polythene, (Una Baines’) Poppycock and Rose & The Diamond Hand. Featuring Kate on drums, Luisa on guitar / backing vocals and Mark on bass / vocals. The band’s sound is dynamic, melodic, catchy and often witty. Previously band member’s other work has featured on The John Peel Show, BBC Radio 1, 6 Music and BBC 3’s Late Junction, plus covered in blogs such as The Quietus and Louder Than War.

This debut EP was recorded entirely live in the studio in Salford in August 2019 to capture the energy of the group's stage show. Musically Elastikbande have been compared to a blend of The Fall, Pavement, The Pixies and more. These early songs are about everything from household appliances to stage diving etiquette.

1. Vacuum Cleaner
“There is a graveyard of spiders lying inside your vacuum cleaner….”
2. Strike A Chord
“Time to let off some tension…time to let off some steam…..”
3. Soundcarrier
“I said “what novel ?” She said “horror” I said “that’s novel”…..”
4. Lost It (In A Moshpit)
“Please don’t stage dive, the crowd will just part, you’ll land somewhere hard….”
