Elliott Brood call their music death country – dark, gritty folk soul music built around whiskey-drenched vocals and lyrics evoking images of love, loss and murder. In their soul-thumping bluegrass songs, banjo keeps time to a strange and chunky angular stomp, with vicious Kentucky-hardcore acoustic guitar and sombre, achingly confessional vocal harmonies. Since forming in the spring of 2002, the Toronto-based trio has sparked a devout following across Canada and in fanatic pockets around the world. The trio's cherished first release, the six-song hand-made EP Tin Type, was released in 2004 and their follow-up full-length CD, Ambassador, was released in 2005.
