Elevator Division

the style of Elevator Division varies from indie rock to melancholy pop. almost a reason to skip this track ... but the band - originating from Kansas City (1998) - deviates from the local sound made by (as critics say) "emo-factories and noise-labs". their style is a composition of "richly layered 80s guitars, slow brooding buildups, and soft-spoken vocals" ( Faketrain.com - Ken Hawk ). further elements of their sound are heavy delayed guitars that adapt perfectly to the mood of the vocals,

but the band - originating from Kansas City (1998) - deviates from the local sound made by (as critics say) "emo-factories and noise-labs".

their style is a composition of "richly layered 80s guitars, slow brooding buildups, and soft-spoken vocals"
( Faketrain.com - Ken Hawk ).
further elements of their sound are heavy delayed guitars that adapt perfectly to the mood of the vocals,
multiple voice layers in the refrains and lyrics that appear somber without being depressed.

it's sad that the band split up in 2005 & their work falls into oblivion.

James Hoskins, frontman and primary songwriter, and bassist Christ Stewart have a new band called Pro and Contra (www.myspace.com/ProandContra). Pro and Contra are currently working on a full length record. Their first EP, "La Cygne," is available online.
Sam Hoskins is fronting The Slowdown with former El Div frontman Joe Hoskins. And Jeremiah Gonzales is currently the frontman for Lovers In Transit
