Element57's Video






***AUGUST 2009~ ELEMENT57 CHOSEN as MTV2 "EMERGING ARTIST" FEATURED DURING THEIR "ROCK N RAIL"SERIES AND HIGHLIGHTED AT THE DEW FEST IN PORTLAND. Performances and interviews will be showcased on Comcast Local On Demand and featured nationally on MTV2 during the Portland Dew Tour premiere on MTV2’s Rail N Rock on August 22nd at 10pm! ALL THROUGH OURSTAGE.COM~ This weekend while being filmed by MTV2...Pic is with Dirty MTV2 VJ at The Rose Garden.

"Most sounds circulating the modern rock airwaves these days are one-dimensional at best. Not with Element57. Plenty of bands are capable of writing memorable riffs, but this one infuses their thunder with colorful melodies, atypical instrumentation, and form that goes beyond the predictable verse-chorus. With such a broad range of influences, this quintet has produced a very diverse album that’s surely worth a listen."- OURSTAGE***

Looking for Portland’s Premiere Modern Rock Band? Element57 Answers the Call

“Sophomore release, Ripcord fuses modern rock radio-ready songs and a DIY demeanor into an album that finds the perfect musical duality”- Big Time Entertainment

“It is some of the most memorable rock you’ll run into. Element57 has forged a new rock sound for music fans who won’t be disappointed.”- Independent Weekly

In the land of indie, Element57 is the modern rock band Portland, OR has been missing. A 5-piece powerhouse that has been compared to the likes of Velvet Revolver & Audioslave, the band of veteran rockers shows it is up to the task on its sophomore release, Ripcord. While one can immediately tell that the band’s sound is rooted in early 90’s rock, the songwriting, production and arrangements are clearly living in the here and now. Think Foo Fighters meet Peter Gabriel…on steroids! Recorded with Sean Norton at his Portland, OR-based studio, SNAP, Ripcord is one of those rare records filled with the perfect amount of duality. On the one hand, it is chalked full of modern rock radio-ready songs like “20 Minutes,” and “Weather” and on the other, maintains a darker, DIY demeanor. From the ever-climbing title track, “Ripcord” to the driving pulse of “Lifeline,” the band overflows with energy and still meticulously attends to melody and form. Guitar and saxophone rise and fall over a waterfall of sound and a pounding groove. All of this is led by Chris Galyon’s incredibly dynamic vocals, which somehow simultaneously conjure up both Peter Gabriel and Chris Cornell. “We wanted to make a record that reflected exactly where we’ve come as a band without thinking about it too much,” says Galyon. “So we walked in and let it loose. I think it really worked for us.” Coming off winning the 2006 Independent Music Award– BEST ROCK SONG (for “Woke Up Late” (Radiate)), Element57 hopes for even more industry accolade with “Ripcord”. All forms of radio has been quick to respond. Portland clear channel stations KUFO 101.1FM and 94.7FM KNRK have added both “Ripcord” and “20 Minutes” to their play lists.

While the record is their strongest yet, the live show has also risen to new heights. When members Chris Galyon (vox, guitar), Jason Wilbur (sax, midiwind), Joe Gardner (drums), Andy Kallenberger (bass), Justin DeFreece (guitar) take to the stage these days audiences are connecting like never before. Galyon comments, “After several years behind the mic, you learn that it takes more than just good music to get people excited. We’ve finally found that ingredient to connect to audiences on a grand scale...our fans are responding to live shows like never before.

And its no wonder...Element57 was born out of the ashes of nationally acclaimed DIY band- 4th Plane Jaiant, who built a 7 year legacy with two albums, Tideline (1998) and Bipolar (2001), airplay on over 70 college radio stations and several western U.S. tours. The band is currently promoting Ripcord online and playing shows throughout the NW. Look for them at a venue near you. Learn more at sonicbids.com/element57 & myspace.com/element57 More about Element57….Element57 took home the Independent Music Award 2006 (2nd time also in 2004) for best hard rock/rock song with “Woke Up Late”, the 1st track off Radiate. Judges for the award included Aerosmith’s Joe Perry, Melissa Ethridge, Bill Wyman, George Clinton and a host of other notable artists. In 2005 “Freedom” (Radiate) was featured by New Future Records, a New York label to be included on a sampler disc distributed throughout the music industry and reputable media outlets. In Jan. 2004, “Speak So Loud” landed on Indie-Music Vol. 1 nationally distributed by Arizona promotion wizards, Black Dog Promotions.
