Drawing from a wide variety of influences, they aren&#8217;t afraid to experiment &#8211; from plugging a keyboard into a fuzz pedal, or pumping an acoustic guitar through a tremolo, the band&#8217;s sound is as much classic Indie as it is pop, and frequently crosses over to rock, breaking all the genres: in short, they&#8217;re a brilliant band.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">ELKS&#8217; lineup include Vincenzo Mosti, tackling lead vocals and guitars; Stefano Di Tanna on lead guitar and backing vocals; Francesco Candeloro playing bass guitar, and also backing vocals and; Marco Di Ienno on drums.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Their latest single, &#8216;Please Baby Please&#8217; is a toe tapping mix of raw vocals, classic riffs, and thumping rhythms. The band was formed just over year ago by four school friends: they&#8217;ve played on the local and national band circuits and will be playing their first European gigs outside Italy in the new year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">ELKS&#8217; eponymous 6 track debut EP from last year is going for a second press run, after having sold out.<\/p>\n<p>You can find ELKS online on their official <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elksmusic.com\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/elksband\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/elksmusic\/\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCG6bTRqI6srZvKrWBNzF1gg\" target=\"_blank\">Youtube<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/play.spotify.com\/artist\/2GEyn0ZOF5eT4OqbS3uEqy\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a>. &#8216;Please Baby Please&#8217; is available on <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/gb\/album\/please-baby-please-single\/id1038451452\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_70045\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yA7F6r-FPP0?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"ELKS - Please Baby Please (Official Video)\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/yA7F6r-FPP0\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ELKS is an Italian alternative rock band formed in 2013.
