ELLA

One thing we try to do on this show is be honest.

About Me

Pre-order our 'YELLOW' and 'ELLA SAYS CHILLAX' tees HERE!
Having found themselves down to a 2 piece after a month long April tour; ELLA took time to take stock, pick up the pieces, and keep fighting the good fight. By re-recruiting original bassist Miller Smith and bringing in brand new members, ELLA have a more determined attitude than ever.
Formed in 2003 and after having released the 'On The Verge Of Losing Everything' EP which gained huge critical acclaim from the UK music press, as well as continuous rave reviews for their live performances, ELLA have set about writing their first full length with a single preceeding it towards the end of '07.
Where most bands would fall by the wayside at the plight of losing three fifths of their members in one fell swoop, and a seeming magnatism for ignorance amongst a scene overflowing with passengers awaiting to board the next bandwagon to scenesville, and the apparent need to simply want to 'be seen to be scene, and scene to be seen'.
ELLA embrace the minefield of invention others fear to venture into...
