Biography
Devils Elbow is an alternative rock band based in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand.
Formed in 2007 the bands sound has been described as punk-influenced, alt. country-flavored, electric-folk, garage rock n' roll.
In addition to a straight ahead 3-chord rock foundation, the band incorporates atmospheric and multi-layered instrumentation.
“Devils Elbow have held solid ground as a distinctively Hawke’s Bay band although they have achieved a significant national following, having toured widely. They have recorded 2 albums [plus 6 EPs] since they formed in 2007 and have toured, featured at many Festivals and received significant radio airplay both in NZ and further afield. Their music is rooted in alt-country with a bit of a punk attitude and an occasional garage rock flair. There’s grittiness to their sounds, but it has the feel not of a big metropolis, but of a wider landscape, small towns and country roads.”
– Jamie McPhail, Small Halls Sessions
