ELL V GORE at the Silver Dollar, Saturday (June 18), 11 pm. NXNE. Rating: NNNN
Toronto’s Ell V Gore have come up with a pretty unique sound by combining a bunch of familiar aspects of underground rock.
Garage rock rhythms smash up against bursts of post-punk noise freakouts, and a hint of rockabilly swing gets amped up with the energy of hardcore.
Frontman Elliot Jones (formerly of Brides) has no trouble commanding attention, and drummer Simone Tisshaw-Baril kept the beats pounding relentlessly.
