Death of the Elephant

About Me


"They’re deliciously raw and messy... Noisy trash raw old school messy garage punk rock and the last thing they need is budget and production and ‘proper things’ like that destroying their positive energy and that beautifully raw edge... Spot on in your face grrrl fronted punk rock raw shouty energy, check ‘em out but don’t give them any money or anything, keep this band poor and raw" - Organ Magazine
"Intense and occasionally disturbing PJ Harvey colliding with The Dwarves... about as awesome as anyone has any reasonable right to expect from a band" - Panic Magazine
"Delicious grating garage punk noise pop from chelmsford" - 2bob Promotions
"This is what Sonic Youth or Babes in Toyland might be like if they were still around today" - Lights Go Out Zine (They know Sonic Youth are still going. Their typewriter was just having a bad day. But it's a sweet comment, so we're keeping it.)
"The bass guitar work drives the song with it's fuzzy and rhythmic sound, while the singer smoulders like an early P J Harvey" - Chelmsford Weekly News
"A rough and raw take on punk rock with a pop edge - bringing to mind the best bits of Sleater-Kinney, Bikini Kill and other Riot Grrrrrl sounds. Sure to have all fans of noisy guitars licking their lips with glee!" - Dead Billy Club at the Brixton Windmill
