Elliot (no not that Elliott) was a hardcore band from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Elliot had a refreshing and intense take on post-hardcore that reflected the sounds of other great Canadian bands like North Of America. As far as I know Elliot was the only "emo" band in the Manitoba scene at the time (other that Painted Thin) and they did a really good job of creating a unique sound and feel to their songs. Off kilter riffs perfectly complement the vocalists gruff shouts while the drummer utilizes some great grooves to follow.
I recently found an unreleased session by this band on soundcloud, while the audio quality is quite bad it still shows tons of promise. I feel like Elliot could have turned into a major label post-hardcore band if they stuck around longer and developed their sound more.
