THE ELITE

A South Leicester 4-piece with some seriously big plans for the future, and already starting to move swiftly up to the next level of the rock n roll leagues. Influences are varied but concrete. They include great classics like The Stone Roses, The Smiths, and The Strokes to name a few, but it by no means stops there. Debut EP ‘Something New’ is a 5-track assault of musical force! It’s full of high-energy guitars, catchy hooks & melodies and some genuinely ambitious lyrics.



They’re already causing strong waves in their hometown picking up some rave reviews after a couple of big shows - namely support slots alongside hometown heroes The Displacements, as well as rising hip-hop artist Example. Keep your eyes on these guys cos the national recognition they deserve is coming right around the corner.

"This Lesta 4 piece make jangly anthem filled indie far better than most of the stuff that makes it to the pages of the NME every week."
