Elcaset

Hailing from Melbourne but comprising English brothers and a Western Australian, rock power-trio Elcaset defied huge distances and sibling rivalry to create their signature melodic-yet-gritty sound invoking the grunge-led riffs of of Rival Schools, pithy vocal hooks of Biffy Clyro and powerpop cadence of Jimmy Eat World. And although the band only formed in mid 2012, Elcaset's members are no rookies. As part of Failsafe, one was snapped up by Deck Cheese Records (UK home of The Living End and Jackson United) while 14,000 kms away, another cut his teeth in bands alongside Adam Spark (Birds of Tokyo) before touring with Gyroscope, Trial Kennedy & Calling All Cars in Perth’s Love You Not. Those early projects instilled a DIY rock’n’roll spirit which carried through to Elcaset’s beginnings and beyond, with a combination of hard work and blatant lies landing them their live debut as headliners at the world famous Esplanade Hotel. Further headline gigs followed at other well-known Melbourne venues before the band headed to Oaklands Studios to record their debut single, 'Losing Ground' and its b-side, 'Can’t Say We’re Too Late'. Following the single’s release on 8th September 2012, Elcaset landed support slots for the likes of Sydonia and Decortica (NZ) before bagging a slot on the Rock'N'Load Festival alongside Dallas Frasca, Gay Paris and King of the North. At the same time, the band received airplay around the globe and were featured artists on both BBC Introducing and Idobi radio. 2013 and beyond will continue in the same spirit, with Elcaset hitting the road in search of as many willing ears as they can hurl their trademark honey-on-gravel sound at. What others are saying: "Evocative of grunge at its heaviest and punk at its most direct, Elcaset’s riffs and melodies are classic and inspired, while simultaneously original.” - Audrey Isabella, INDIEMUNITY “Can't Say We're Too Late" signals the band's early 2000's pop-punk influences, especially on bass and vocals...All in all, we're most impressed by frontman Rory who handles the mic and lone guitar with skill.” - MUSIC CONNECTIONS MAGAZINE “A promising future awaits Elcaset...“Losing Ground” is very upbeat with a catchy hook; the song had me tapping my foot by halfway through. “Can’t Say We’re Too Late” blends the three members’ skills together greatly. Each part is distinct but they all work harmoniously alongside strong lyrics to make a powerful song. Both songs leave the listener anxious to hear more...” - Brittany Caroselli, PLUGGEDIN PROMOTIONS For bookings or more information, email info@elcasetmusic.com Melbourne melodic rock power-trio.
