Deep Ella

Artist Information

Biography

Deep Ella is an American alternative rock band from Texas. The brainchild of singer/guitarist Jeff Crowder, Deep Ella has found a unique sound all their own. A native of Houston, Jeff was inspired to form the indie pop group in the wake of a broken romance. Finding an unlikely middle ground between electro art rock and a pop-friendly sound, the brainy music group delivers emotionally driven rock songs with eclectic elements that are familiar but not a replicant. Deep Ella has recently had the pleasure of supporting national touring acts like Civil Twilight, Blue October, Hoobastank, Bob Schneider and the Paper Tongue.

"Afterall" is both the band's best song and the one most likely to make it to radio. It embodies all the qualities that make up Ella's best work: delicate music, moving vocals and a confident message buried beneath the uncertainty.'

In fact most people already know this is a great band. Don't let that stop you from taking another listen. Dust off that CD or buy it if you don't own it yet...Flowing effortlessly through many styles and nuances this bands leaves an impression on the listener that they love what they do. Reminiscent of a post modern version of U2 or Live with a hint of English rock sensibilities with songwriting which is thoughtful and decisive, this is a good solid rock album from a good solid rock band.'
