Takedown Festival 2013, Southampton University


Elithia – Southampton Music Stage:

Way back in 2010, four lads got together with their love of music to then create a band and what a band they are. Three years on, Plymouth-based Elithia are something great as the level of dedication they all have is always lovely to see. Bassist and guitarists are synchronized but definitely not in that boy band way; in a way that has passion written all over it. Tyler Page has fantastic vocals and uses this to his advantage today and knowing the drummer is only 18 years old is amazing as his skills are pretty damn good. The band’s music is usually classed as metal but some say it’s “heavy yet intricate”. All this energy that came from them but had nothing received back as pretty much everyone stood at the Southampton Music stage stayed well away at the back leaving only a few at the front – someone’s got to support their local music scene.
