Elastic Justice “Ram Raid at the Palace of Wonder” - Next Release from Upcoming Album “The Run Out Groove”

Elastic Justice are Paul Sands, Louis Payne, Alex Madeira and Jon Evans.

They first got together house sharing in Clapham. Now life has scattered them around the globe and they are based in Brighton, Miami and San Francisco and work over the internet, but distance proved no object in producing an intensely British sound. Listeners find echoes of the Kinks, Madness, Blur, Bowie and Pink Floyd in their music. Their tracks have featured in award winning arthouse films “The Goodbye Girl” and “Flower Boy”.

“Ram Raid at the Palace of Wonder” is the second song to see light of day from their next album “The Run Out Groove” which will be released in July. It is a full on indie rocker which is simultaneously about a cockney bank job, and also about mankind’s inability to explain the wonders of the universe. The video features stills of unlikely convicts from 100 years ago, from the Tyne and Wear Archives - every face tells a story.

Explaining the song and album concept, songwriter Paul said:

“We wanted to make an album that really wags it tail… that cheers you up even when the songs are about fighting or existential angst. I wrote ‘Ram Raid at the Palace of Wonder’ when I was a long way from the UK - in a Japanese attic in fact - but wanted to plug into the heritage of British writers like Ian Dury with this one… songs that are funny on one level but also have something to say.”
