Formed in early 2023 in Cheadle / Stockport, independent band Elephant and The Rider have been making noises in the local music scene and performing locally while recording their new EP ‘Forever Didn’t Last That Long.’

Described by Tempo Magazine as “capable of blending an eclectic range of influences into a unique sound which is defiantly theirs.” The bands EP is on its final stretch of release after they led a series of single releases throughout 2024 which saw them gain repeated media and radio attention across the UK and USA with support from BBC Introducing, Salford City Radio, Amazing Radio UK/USA, iHeart Radio, to name a few.
