Elastica

Indie rock
Indie rockPunk rockRap

Elastica is a Indie rock and Punk rock act. Their catalogue also touches Rap. Their sound grew out of The Radio One Sessions, Moose, Pink Flag, Thousand Yard Stare and Trio. Those roots explain a lot about how Elastica arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Manic Street Preachers, Catatonia, Throwing Muses, Shed Seven and Ash, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Arctic Monkeys, Zoé, Sing-Sing, Russel Hobbs and Kula Shaker, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 33 connections around Elastica, reaching back through The Radio One Sessions and forward to Arctic Monkeys. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.

Background

Elastica were an English rock band formed in London in 1992 by guitarist/singer Justine Frischmann and drummer Justin Welch after their departure from Suede. The band was stylistically influenced by punk rock, post-punk and new wave music. The band's members changed several times, with Frischmann and Welch being the only members who remained in Elastica from its formation to its dissolution.
