Debut single from An Elegy with EP on the way

UK metalcore band An Elegy will release their debut EP Embrace The Rain on July 27th with their new single Ghost out today.

And the five-piece from across Coventry and Birmingham hope it will help pull them from their day jobs and on to something better.

Guitarist Suraj Mann told RealSoundsOK: "We just want to tour. The idea of being able to wake up in a different city every day, playing the music we love and bringing as many of our mates along with us is what gets us through each day.

"Making coffee for Starbucks, building seats for Jaguar, working for a small business, in maintenance or spending each day at school are not the lives we want to be living right now.

"We want to be able to make this dream a reality. We have been sat on this band for the last year, perfecting every little aspect of what we have prepared."

That time was the year spent in a Birmingham rehearsal room writing and recording their debut release.

The band - completed by Sam Appleyard  (vox), Adam Walker (bass), Kieran Shaw (guitar) and Stephan Gardner-Bushell (drums) - draw inspiration from the likes of Slipknot and Linkin Park as well as the less grime and acoustic artists.

Their debut single Ghost is out today, so head over to facebook.com/anelegy or twitter.com/anelegyuk to check it out.
