#elbow room

[eleanornicholemiller]

“I have successfully argued my way into getting Elbow Room (the Schoolhouse Rock song that aged TERRIBLY) on the soundtrack Alvin’s making.”

“We cut the MOST problematic line, but the others are still in there. And I get to sing lead!”

“I’m really glad it gets to stay. I quote that song constantly when Alvin and Britt won’t give me space.”

“Plus we’ll add a disclaimer that we are aware the song is outdated and problematic, just to cover all the bases.”

Where is my Schoolhouse Rock reboot?

Seriously, raise your hand if you learned SOMETHING from these! They were so good, and we learned so much. There is SO MUCH that could be taught in that same format today. Honestly, why are we not doing more of this?

Elbow Room Genre: Pop Punk Hometown: Cleveland

What’s your hometown?

Cleveland, OH

How did you become a band? Spencer and I worked together, had the same interest in music and decided to start a band! We starting writing songs for “Skyrocket” and realized this is what we wanted to do. After recording “Skyrocket,” we found the rest of the band and are getting ready for shows! - Justin

Where do you guys draw your influences for your music?

I'm more of a fan of newer punk bands like Real Friends, The Story So Far, Neck Deep, and State Champs. Albums like What You Don't See, Life's Not Out To Get You, and Maybe This Place Is The Same And We're Just Changing influenced the record for me. - Justin

I grew up listening to a large selection of 2000s emo and punk bands.  I can get into my fair share of other genres, like post-hardcore and other things that go along with that, but emo/punk music is what I draw more from.  Ryan Key (Yellowcard) and Jesse Lacey (Brand New) are my two biggest influences, along with other artists like Cartel, Motion City Soundtrack, Say Anything, Taking Back Sunday, and other bands from that area of music. -Spencer

What’s your favorite part about being in a band? So far it's been people who have connected with the lyrics that meant a lot to me. It's unreal to make an impact on somebody with the lyrics I wrote. There's nothing I'd rather be doing. - Justin

It's been surreal, and even weird, in the absolute best way, that I sat down in a room with one of my best friends, we wrote some songs together, and so many people are already listening.  To have people care about the music and see it spread like this already has been beyond incredible.  We're very grateful for and happy with the experience of it all so far – Spencer.

What are the bands future plans?

Play as many shows as possible! Hopefully tour later this year, just try to get the music out to as many people as possible. - Justin

I just want to play music in as many places as possible, and as often as possible.  I'm definitely excited to keep working at it and take our songwriting to new levels on our second record. - Spencer

What was your favorite cartoon growing up?

I was definitely a Spongebob kid hah – Justin

I loved Spongebob, but I honestly wish this question wasn't confined to just cartoons, because Drake & Josh is hands down the best show out there.- Spencer

Favorite pizza topping?

Bacon, banana peppers, or pineapple, because I don't care who says pineapple doesn't belong on pizza, it is amazing. - Justin

Justin always gets this super tasty pizza with something like banana peppers and hot sauce drizzle or something on it. Whatever is on that pizza is my favorite.- Spencer

If you could have one superpower what would it be?

Freeze time, that would be so lit. - Justin

Being able to teleport would be a dope superpower to have.- Spencer

What is the first album you ever bought?

Blink-182 - Cashmire Cat. – Justin

I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love by My Chemical Romance.  “Early Sunsets over Monroeville” is still one of my favorite songs ever written.- Spencer

What’s the last show you watched on Netflix?

The Office! Favorite show, watched it like 3 times through – Justin

I've been watching a lot of Supernatural lately. That show kicks ass.- Spencer

Anything else you’d like to say?

Thanks to anyone whose already checked out our new record “Skyrocket.” We're very grateful for all the support we've been shown so far, and we're excited to see what the future holds for us as a band.  We also want to thank Pup Fresh for the interview. You guys rock.

The band will be touring the midwest this summer. You can find out more information on their FB.
