New Album, Under The Earth And Above Heaven, Coming 2025

Why bother even reading this Elephants And Stars bio? Artist biographies are a dime a dozen nowadays as all you need to do is throw a few key words into AI and out will spew an overly long action packed tale with a multitude of flowery superlatives decreeing the latest, greatest rock'n' band on the planet.

Elephants and Stars are real. Much like both real elephants and the stars above us, they are mature. They make music because they have to and record their records in an old school studio with a seasoned producer (the legendary rocker Ian Blurton).

These are not kids who are going to jump into a van, crossing the province opening for a myriad of less than impressive bar bands and hoping to maybe pocket $50 in gas money. They would rather keep getting invited to play a sold out show with the likes of Television's Richard Lloyd, Against Me!'s Laura Jane Grace or indie legends Lowest of the Low, whose audience are willing to both listen and understand music that digs under the surface.

They spend their time in rehearsals and in the studio crafting rock songs with hooks and lyrics with a bite that might take more than one listen to fully appreciate.

The Golden Horseshoe is home to the band with members from both the Hamilton and Toronto areas.

Their new album is called Under The Earth And Above Heaven. The music says it all, have a listen.

Singer-guitarist Manfred Sittmann and bassist Mike MacMillan have "never not been in a band together". In the early 2000's they formed Soap Opera, which was signed to Bullseye Records releasing two albums, Poised and Welcome to the Tangiers. Then came The First Time, whose 2004 debut It's On, a faster and heavier take on Soap Opera's pop-punk sound, produced by Warne Livesey (Midnight Oil, Matthew Good). It's On was named Best Punk Record at the 2005 Toronto Independent Music Awards and received rave reviews, as well as mainstream US radio play and TV network licensing for the singles "Goodbye Harlowe" and "New Day Dawning."
