Based in San Francisco, elephone’s dark guitar textures, dynamic vocals and literary themes have earned them comparisons to Radiohead, Sunny Day real Estate and The Cure in local and national press. Intricate, moving, cinematic, elephone is defining a sound and movement like other breakaway artistic acts from Interpol to U2, Echo and the Bunnymen to Love and Rockets. The band consists of Ryan Lambert, Terry Ashkinos, Mauri Skinfill, Josh Gibson and Gavin Haag. Their mission statement is to bring honest music into dishonest times. Elephone describes their sound as a cross between Charlie Chaplin and Frank Lloyd Wright.
