Elliot Minor (formerly The Academy) are a rock band from York, England. The band members are all classically trained, and their music is to some extent a fusion of classical music and rock.
In November 2006, they flew out to Los Angeles to record the first single with producer Jim Wirt (Hoobastank, Incubus, Something Corporate, Jack’s Mannequin). After hearing the track, Neal Avron (Yellowcard, Fall Out Boy) offered to mix the record and, of course, the boys accepted.
Their first single, Parallel Worlds, was released on April 9th, 2007. Parallel Worlds is an energetic rock track, driven by guitars, but woven together with violin and piano. The single entered at number 31 on the UK Singles Charts where it featured for one week in April 2007. Prior to this it had already been playlisted on major channels such as Kerrang! TV, MTV2, The Box and The Hits.
Their second single, 'Jessica', was released on August 6th, 2007. It was playlisted on Kerrang! TV, The Box and The Hits and MTV Hits, and was ranked 19th in the UK chart for one week in August 2007.
Elliot Minor's third single, titled "The White One Is Evil," was released on October 29th and reached number 27 in the UK Singles Charts on November 4th. However, as with the previous singles, it only held its position for a week before dropping out of the top 40.
It was announced on November 14, 2007 that Still Figuring Out would be the band's fourth single, to be released on January 28, 2008. It reached Elliot Minor's highest chart position to date at 17.
The final single release from the upcoming album will be a re-release of Parallel Worlds with a new video filmed on 5th February in London. It will be released on 7th April, 2008, one week before the album. In the middle of their 2008 tour, they played as support for Simple Plan - the first time the band has ever played live outside of the UK.
