G N I S I R P U : E ELIT Allusondrugs Here at Elite we’re partial to some weird, trippy grunge, so here’s a little band called Allusondrugs. They’re pretty cool with their sludgy riffs and ambient vocals, and their vocalist, Jason, is forever haunted by the fact he looks a little bit like Kurt Cobain. ‘Sunset Yellow’ gives you a spaced out wonderland, whist ‘Cherry Pie’ gives you a mosh-heavy wasteland. Their sound is expansive and challenging and is more than worth of some serious attention. Once you’ve worked out your ‘Nervous’ from your ‘Mycat’, check them out live and get wild. Waterparks If you haven’t heard of Waterparks yet, where have you been!? This pop-punk (with an emo touch) trio are on the cusp of the big time having just released their awesome debut album ‘Double Dare’ last November. They’ve supported All Time Low, they’re best friends with Creeper and they will bring joy to your life as soon as you hear them. Take a listen to ‘Crave’, ‘Gloom Boys’, ‘Royal’, ‘21 Questions’… any song actually, and prepare to fall in love the way you did with Fall Out Boy back in 2005. Waterparks are making a splash, so get your swimwear on and lose your mind in their glorious party! Wonk Unit Wonk Unit are the weirdest, funniest and most carefree bunch of guys you will ever come across. Not much explanation is needed about Daddy Wonk and his crew or ska boys and punk revellers because they’re exactly as their name suggests: wonky as fuck. They’re punk legends on the small-gig circuit with songs about horses, nans and a few “fuck the torries” classics. Seeing them live is as much about the music as it is about the comedy and the main reason to get to know Wonk Unit is for the sheer fun of it. They’re all about good vibes and good times; who doesn’t loved that!? Words by Alice Hoddinott 194 www.eliteonlinemag.com
