Band history

Alex Davies and Ed Minton attended the same school in Uppingham , where they both took classical music classes and sang in the school choir . They became friends and made music together and eventually formed the band The Academy with Dan Hetherton . They made their own music recordings and added a keyboard player and a bass player to Ali Paul and Dan's brother Teddy.

At the beginning of 2006 they found a label with Repossession Records and made their first recordings. They also renamed themselves Elliot Minor .

The band had a very successful career start, their first two singles Parallel Worlds and Jessica came in at number 1 on the indie charts and in the top 40 of the official British charts. Two more successful singles followed before their debut album with the band name as the title was released in April 2008. It reached number 6 in the UK.
