Balancing their sound between three of the diverse Punk sub-genres while not being afraid of bearing their souls and pushing the boundaries of heavy music with an acoustic guitar provides them with musical versatility and sets them apart. With an energetic live show comprised of the six members dodging guitar throws, backflips, spin kicks and mic swings An evening at Elmwood’s passion towards their music has earnt the respect of promoters, peers and fans alike.
