Gwen Stacy, The Elijah

After the release of their debut full-length The Life I Know (2008) on Ferret Music, the band spring-boarded from a Buzz worthy DIY touring act to an internationally recognized force to be reckoned with.

The album debuted on the Billboard "Heatseekers" Chart and was hailed by media touchstones like Absolute Punk.net who claimed "if you need something to kick your current music rotation in the ass, then The Life I Know is what you want to check out." The album was recorded with top notch sound makers, Brian McTernan (Circa Survive, Thrice, Converge, etc.) and Paul Leavitt (All Time Low, The Bled, From Autumn to Ashes) and established the band’s ability to merge furious aggression of metal and hardcore with more melodic and soaring sections.

Earning steadfast devotion across the continents they blazed the roads of the US and Canada, selling over 16,000 copies and launching them onto non-stop touring with The Devil Wears Prada, Unearth, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Drop Dead, Gorgeous, Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster, 36 Crazy Fists and Haste The Day.
