Elevation, an Atlanta-based indie rock band, will be celebrating the release of their first full-length album, Strangelove, on March 28, 2008 at Vinyl. The CD Release Show is an 18+ event, doors open at 9:00 PM and cost $5. Fans can buy tickets at the door or on www.ticketalternative.com.
The band and album have already caught national attention this year with appearances by Elevation at the SXSW Music Festival in Austin, Texas and a remix of the first single “Razoreyes” with highly acclaimed music producer/remixer, Mark Endert, who has worked with Maroon 5, The Fray and Madonna.
Elevation formed with vocalist Nathan Smith in 2002. This five-piece has assembled the essential elements necessary for their rise to greatness. Although it is clear that Elevation's music is heavily influenced by classic rock, some of their songs tease the boundaries of genre; sometimes shifting to a more indie or ambient sound. But as the songs play with different sounds so do Smith's vocals, distinctive yet familiar (soft to punchy, or from melodic to gritty) but always completely convincing. Lead guitarist Andrew Averso, rhythm guitarist Luke Hickok, bassist Chase Schell, and drummer Stephen Bailey round out the band.
