Elliot Minor Parallel Worlds Video

"Elliot Minor" are Alex on lead vocals, guitar and the main songwriter, Ed on vocals and guitar, Dan on drums and vocals, Ally on keyboards and Teddy on bass. All these guys are classically trained and that training is paying dividends when it comes to their song-writing and performance.

Now, I know that at just over 30 (and the rest - Ed)) I am classed as being far too old for the pop-rock scene and also my musical tastes don`t really bend that way, but from the moment I put this CD in my player the hairs on the back of my head and on my arms stood up and that tingle of "WOW" went down my back. You all know what I mean - the moment when you realise that something you are listening to has transcended passed good and is in the AMAZING bracket.

"Elliot Minor`s" style may be classed as pop-rock but I feel it is doesn`t have its feet firmly planted in that genre, it tends to sway more to the rockier sound and I feel it will appeal to both young and old alike. Their music is so polished and professional that I thought they had been around for ages working on their sound and I was astounded to hear that they only formed in 2005 and if I was to draw any comparisons I would be quite happy to say that they have the professionalism and musicianship of "Queen" mixed with the clear, crisp layering and vocalisation of "Squeeze".

This single, "Parallel Worlds" was produced by Jim Wirt and what has come out is spectacular, all the various layers in the music are clear and crisp and is a real pleasure to listen to. The only bad point about this CD is that it only had one track on it. I wanted to listen to more; I needed to listen to more, so I went straight to their myspace account (http://www.myspace.com/elliotminor) where fortunately they have "Parallel Worlds" and 3 other demo tracks available along with 8 chapters in their video blog of their time recording tracks for their upcoming album.

My advice? Remember the name; remember where you heard it first because these guys are going to be huge. Do yourself a favour and visit their myspace account, sit back, forget that you are listening to pop-rock and just enjoy the brilliance and quality of their music. If you listen with an open mind I guarantee that you will enjoy what they have to offer - if you don`t then I will cut all my hair off!

"Parallel Worlds" is to be released on 2nd April and if it gets the correct marketing you can expect to hear it in the charts soon after. This is a brilliant single from a group of extremely talented young men.

Classical music`s loss is rock music`s gain.
