Glasgow’s Elmo create anthemic and melodic records that justify their status as INXS’ support at the SECC.
‘Blasphemy’ opens up like Linkin Park’s ‘What I’ve Done’ and carries on in that tradition for the rest of the track. An infuriatingly catchy guitar riff rules the song and transforms it into a decent track in its own right.
‘Salvation’ is a big modern-day classic rock track like U2’s ‘Vertigo’ or ‘Elevation’ and although Neil Thompson’s vocals occasionally don’t sound strong enough for a big ol’ drum/guitar-driven track like this, the tune still works in a Snow Patrol ‘Chocolate’ sort of way.
Elmo’s key is in the catchiness of the guitars. This is big stadium-filling stuff that sells by the bucketload.
If they could get ‘If I Fall’ onto a big US show they would probably have the world at their feet, until that day comes Glasgow will have to do.

Bio
Formed in the late 90's, Elmos now established line-up have continued to grow the bands popularity through their music and proffessionalism all over the UK.
Elmo have supported some massive acts, playing to over 30,000 people in 2005 at Big in Falkirk.
They have supported the likes of the Crash Test Dummies, JJ72 and M People and continue in the strive for excellence.
We are regarded by many in Scotland as the band that is most likely to break.
Elmo do not follow trends and their style has developed over time to what you hear now - massive melody infused songs that inspire the imagination.
Elmo have just supported INXS at the SECC. They were picked from thousands of live acts by Kirk himself as the band that they wanted to support them.
