2010 is set to be the year for Leeds band The Kiara Elles.
The bands sound ranges from dancey and quirky to dark and punky, invoking memories of anything from Joy Division to Le Tigre or as The Guardian have said “Like one of those out-of-nowhere indie records that has the man in the street singing along to a guitar riff.”
The band recently spent time sparking alight the hormones and setting the pulses of young men and women racing as they travelled around the the UK touring their critically acclaimed ODIO EP, released on Mercury Award nominee Choque Hosein’s new imprint, Vandal. With recording completed, their first full length album Slide Over will be unleashed into the public domain 03 May preceded by a double-A single, Laser Shot/The Bet on 19 April. The band will embark on a UK tour in support of these releases.
Up to this point The Kiara Elles have been surfing the airwaves on a regular basis via radio play from 6 Music’s Steve Lamacq, Gideon Coe, Gary Crowley and Clare McDonnell. BBC Radio 1’s Huw Stephens has spun various tracks from ODIO on his BBC Introducing show.
With glowing reviews from respected music hacks across Europe, The Kiara Elles are tipped to take the step up to the next level into the bloodstream of the public consciousness over the next year.

“They are indie, they are electro, they are sexy, they are smart, the sound is urgent and fast paced” Music News Scotland
