The Moscow based group get their inspiration from the likes of Sublime, Pixies, The Smiths, Rancid, The Clash, Franz Ferdinand, Pearl Jam, and Violent Femmes &#8211; and yet they still manage to have a distinctive sound. The Ilya Naishuller (Hardcore Henry) directed video for their 2013 release, &#8216;Bad Motherfucker&#8217;, went viral, and opened them up to an audience in the USA, and they&#8217;ve released a series of singles to moderate acclaim in the following years.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Biting Elbows&#8217; latest track, &#8216;Love Song&#8217;, is a finely crafted sonic masterpiece dripping with metaphor, while the video adds a new diension to the song. This clip has been directed by Lado Kvataniya, a long-time collaborator of the band. It&#8217;s not just a bad romance, it&#8217;s an utter disaster: both parties trying to put back together the pieces of their relationship in order to work out where it all went wrong. It&#8217;s violent, gory and gruesome, but at the same time a beautifully cinematic masterpiece.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find out more about Biting Elbows online on their <a href=\"http:\/\/bitingelbows.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official website<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bitingelbows\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_94508\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w8ncznCjT0M?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=\"Biting Elbows - &#039;Love Song&#039; Official Music Video\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/w8ncznCjT0M\/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>With a name like Biting Elbows you&#8217;d be right in thinking they&#8217;re not your traditional indie band.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":39248,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[57,9,640],"tags":[15993,15992,15996,15998,743,15997,5146,8588,77,370,1945,1380,3011,764,15995,1517,15994,256,1418,1545],"class_list":["post-39247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-artists","category-new-releases","category-videos","tag-bad-motherfucker","tag-biting-elbows","tag-franz-ferdinand","tag-ilya-naishuller","tag-indie","tag-lado-kvataniya","tag-love-song","tag-moscow","tag-new-release","tag-new-single","tag-new-video","tag-pearl-jam","tag-pixies","tag-punk","tag-rancid","tag-russia","tag-sublime","tag-the-clash","tag-the-smiths","tag-violent-femmes"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-ad1","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":51236,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2019\/07\/biting-elbows-give-us-what-we-want-with-heartache-and-control\/","url_meta":{"origin":39247,"position":0},"title":"Biting Elbows Give Us What We Want With &#8216;Heartache&#8217; And &#8216;Control&#8217;","author":"Lisa Hafey","date":"11\/07\/2019","format":false,"excerpt":"It's an interesting name, Biting Elbows.
