Toad explains:
Garden of Elks are Niall Strachan (Bronto Skylift) from Inverness, Ryan Drever (PAWS) from Glasgow and Paul Bannon (Lady North) from Edinburgh, and between them they make a fearsomely good racket.
They call themselves thrash-pop and I guess that does the trick – this is basically an album of ten short, sharp guitar pop songs played with reckless abandon and a joyful sense of chaos. That chaos is most at evidence in their live shows which tend to end in complete mayhem, and yet more damage to Niall’s long-suffering guitar.
Their debut album, A Distorted Sigh, came out (Spring ’15) on vinyl and cassette.
