Elliot Minor (formerly The Academy) is a rock/pop band from York, England. They cite among their influences, Muse, The Used, Something Corporate, Jack’s Mannequin, The All-American Rejects, Queen and The Beach Boys. According to the band’s Myspace page, they also blend classical music into their sound. Elliot Minor also supported McFly in Newcastle in 2006 to an audience of over 13,000 people and also performed at Wembly Arena. Were spotted by a representative of Repossession Records to whom they later signed a record deal.
Alex Davies is the creative force behind the band. He was born into the world of classical music, and was expected to become a concert violinist, but when he met Ed Minton at Uppingham School in 2000 his eyes were opened wide to the world of rock. Overnight he went from listening to ‘Adagio for Strings’ to Green Day, The Starting Line, Something Corporate, Blink-182 and The Ataris. Alex and Ed quickly became great friends.
Elliot Minor started as an acoustic duo (Alex Davies and Ed Minton) in 2004/2005. In their last year at school, Alex and Ed got serious about the band and built a simple recording studio in their attic flat, where they spent every spare minute writing songs, recording demos and performing. At the end of their time at Uppingham, they both decided to take a gap year to develop the band and Alex built a more sophisticated home studio in his garage. They made great progress, but something was lacking: they needed a drummer.
