Devils Elbow Release New Single ‘Top 9’

‘Top 9’ is the latest single from Devils Elbow, a track from the band’s latest EP ‘Riverlands’. 

‘Top 9’  references music and radio itself, as well as the idea of a long-established artist, the 'best-kept secret' hitting the mainstream and becoming a ‘Sensation Overnight’.

“Round here (Hastings) growing up there was a long-running radio countdown segment ‘Top 9 at 9” everyone would listen in to hear the latest hits and you would record them to a blank cassette, sometimes it was a ‘call the station to vote’ type of thing, people would get into it, trying to get through". Says Alec Withers (Vocals, Guitar).

“There aren’t any bands like Devil’s Elbow around right now, and we have seen a lot come and go in our time. When this band began, Myspace was the ‘be all, end all’, YouTube was only a couple years in, and there were still at least 3 record stores in every small town. Now the masses are staring into their devices for everything, I’m looking forward to playing shows again for sure, and unwind some of the past couple years”.

Top 9 is the second single in the lead-up to the band’s Riverlands EP - out soon.
