Elephant in the Living Room is a unique indie-rock band composed of four young musicians from the west side of Cleveland.

The band released its debut full length album, "We Speak", in the summer of 2006. Here's what listeners have said about Elephant in the Living Room and its debut disc: "Elephant in the Living Room's debut effort shows an awful lot of promise..." -Larry Mac, Domain Cleveland,"...the quartet is capable of producing engaging hooks and interesting instrumentation..." - John Benson, Plain Dealer Friday Magazine,"...this band could become
more than a local act." - Dave Edwards, Free Times
