If you had to describe the music of the five guys from ELWOOD STRAY, you would probably do it with the words plain, unposed and natural. There are no technical bells and whistles, instead the band concentrates on the essentials: Handmade music.
The result is a combination of catchy melodies and raw hardness. The skillful interplay of shouts and clean vocals not only supports the instruments, but also really gets the listener's money's worth.
With the lyrics, Elwood Stray draws attention to the grievances in the world and does not mince their words. Elwood Stray combines elements from modern hardcore, Nu Metal and southern influences. Thus, they surprise with a completely new sound.
In 2017 the Ruhrpott based band released their debut EP Burn The Bridge. Followed by different singles which underline their current sound. Their 2020 released compilation called ‘Triality’ glues all their musical facets together and delivered a catchy but also fierce experience.
Elwood Stray have already shared the stage with The Plot In You, Landmvrks, Bad Omens, Polar, Create To Inspire and many others.
