Elks - The Acorn

The Acorn by Elks

4...according to our on Thu 17 Jan, 2008.



Now a CD single on Unlabel by Elks. 'The Acorn' is jerky post hardcore pop that sounds a little like Fury of the Headteachers except more spindly. Quite spiky with some emotive guitar work & a rousing vocal. He gets quite manic towards the end making this a single that demands repeated listens. A few of these Unlabel bands remind me of the long forgotten Nub who perfected this brand of trebly, intricate Math-core years back but disappeared before the world embraced them.
