Elliott BROOD are excited to announce their upcoming U.S. tour dates in support of the February 28, 2012 release of their album "Days Into Years" through Paper Bag Records. Revered for their live performances, Elliott BROOD are guaranteed to sell out shows and fill rooms across the nation.


At the close of 2011, Elliott BROOD received a multitude of accolades from the press in their home country, making several year-end lists including nods from National Post, Quick Before It Melts, and from TSN's Dave Hodge who comilies a list of his favourite music of the year with colleague Jay Onrait. Elliott BROOD also received kudos for their live show from NOW Magazine and were included on CBC Radio's Top 50 Artists of 2011 list.


Seeing is believing with this folk-rock trio, and the glowing support from the press speaks for itself -- their shows are filled with energy and spirit, and it is on stage that their music truly comes to life, where not a foot in the room isn't tapping along to the beat of each song.

"Days Into Years" is about story telling and history, nostalgia and loss. Opening track “Lindsay” invites you into the process of revisiting one’s life while cleaning out an old family home. “If I Get Old” daydreams of making it through difficult times, be they in the trenches or a sickbed, and finding a nice place in the country to live out one’s final moments. "Days Into Years" presents these reflections as a celebration of life, particularly on the perfect summer single “Northern Air,” a love letter both to the rural Ontario landscape and the memory of a departed friend whose spirit now resides there.


The album was inspired as the trio was driving through the backroads of France on the last leg of their European tour while wandering through a WWI military cemetary. “We saw all these Canadian names, and it really resonated with us, these young guys that had gone off to war," says Mark, "but when you actually visit a place where the battles were, it hits you a lot harder.”

Their music tells "a macabre story" (NPR) and "and sounds at home just about anywhere" (KEXP) - be sure to get your hands on a copy of this album February 28, 2012 through Paper Bag Records and catch Elliott BROOD on their upcoming Spring tour!
