As Elephants Are formed in 2011 when Ben (vocals / guitar) and Harry (bass) enlisted old school friends guitarist Joe and drummer Rob to flesh out the songs they were writing. Debut single, “War Cry” caught the ears of Xfm and Amazing Radio, both of whom playlisted it whilst follow-up double A side “Lucifer” / “Youth Blood” also found fans in Jen Long, Ally McCrae and Huw Stephens at Radio One with “Youth Blood” introducing the band to European audiences via a track of the day from legendary French music mag Les Inrockuptibles.
