Blues
BluesGarage rockIndie rock

Cage the Elephant is a Blues and Garage rock act. Their catalogue also touches Indie rock, Psychedelic rock and Punk rock. Their sound grew out of Nirvana, Pixies, OutKast, The Black Keys and Dan Auerbach. Those roots explain a lot about how Cage the Elephant arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, Foster the People, Grouplove and Sir Sly, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into 22-20s, Lil Xan and Sir Chloe, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 34 connections around Cage the Elephant, reaching back through Nirvana and forward to 22-20s.
