Elle Milano are a three-piece alternative rock band based in Brighton, England. Currently signed to independent label Brighton Electric. They are fronted by Adam Crisp, who also plays guitar and keyboard. He is joined by Chloe Joanna on bass and backing vocals. Finally, James Headley plays drums, does backing vocals and keyboard. Their beginning can be traced back to when Adam and James met in 2004 whilst at college in Yately, Hampshire. There, they were in a band called Psirens. When the pair moved to Leicester to study Music Technology, Chloe Dunford and Alex Peterson (also from Psirens) joined and they formed Elle Milano. In 2005 they signed to Brighton Electric and on 3rd April 2006, they released their debut EP; Swearing’s For Art Students. On 11 September 2007, it was announced on the band’s Myspace that guitarist Alex Peterson had left the band. Their first single as a three piece was My Brother, The Astronaut, released on 5th November 2007. Meanwhile in Hollywood… was released on 30th March 2008, followed by debut album Acres Of Dead Space Cadets two weeks later (14th April 2008). On 23rd June they released Laughing all the Way to the Plank. The band are known for having a large catalogue of songs, most of which are now available online.

Elle Milano have garnered sustained praise from the independent music press, including Artrocker Magazine. They sport a calculated cynicism of the inescapable clichés of industry-manufactured popular culture and the shallow consumerist attitudes of the information age, but also of the British indie rock scene and pretentious, flippant, student culture.
