Since forming in Cambridge in 2019, new alt-rock band Elephant Takedown is a phoenix, born from the ashes of multiple line-up and name changes. Months of blood, sweat and silver pennies poured into this project until the boatman was satisfied. Setting sail on their long awaited maiden voyage from the underworld, Elephant Takedown is here to bring their action packed, heavy rock into the world! Elephant Takedown are a four-man force to be reckoned with each member bringing their unique music taste and flavour to the song-writing process. Initially the band consisted of only two: Alex (Bass) and Phil (Lead Guitar). Shortly after, Simon (Drums) joined and then, with a flourish of inappropriate dance-moves, Ben (Lead Vocals/Guitar), a 10 foot tall Canadian completed the line-up. Drawing inspiration from a very eclectic mix of styles and genres, what started with a likeness to Alter Bridge and Stone Sour has been drastically transformed by influences like Periphery, Muse, Sum 41 and Rob Zombie. Recording debut EP: Forked Tongues & False Hopes has really brought the band together sonically, delivering a punchy, modern rock production aesthetic with a quality that distinctly resembles that of great noughties bands like Audioslave and The Killers. The result will undoubtedly rock the dust off your speaker system! The four tracks on Forked Tongues & False Hopes were recorded, mixed, and mastered at Headline Music Studios in Cambridge, and released by Headline Records Ltd.
