The Elms To End With Final Show And Digital Box Set
US rock band The Elms have announced today that they will be ending the band. Their final show together will take place on 30th July at Radio Radio in Indianapolis. The band have also released a special digital box set called 'Stoppin' On A Dime: Live & Rare 2000-2010' featuring 40 tracks with over 150 minutes of music from their 10 year history together. The album contains previously unreleased studio recordings, b-sides, electrifying live performances, and rare, remixed, and alternate versions of some of the band's most recognisable songs.
Lead singer Owen Thomas said, "It is with equal parts gratitude and humility with which I write you today to say that this July, after ten extraordinary years of life lived closely together, the members of The Elms will very amicably part ways and end our tenure as a rock and roll band. There are no salacious discrepancies between band members to report to you, and no dramatic elements to run through the rumor mill! Simply stated, the time has come to move on."
Last year The Elms released their final studio album, 'The Great American Midrange' which was the highest-charting album of their career. "We're eternally grateful to all of you who discovered The Elms and our music; then so warmly carried us, loved us, supported us, and become our extended family through the years - you have brought us true joy on innumerable occasions. I thank God Almighty that we've gotten a chance to meet you all", said Owen Thomas.
