Elemantra, Cartoon Graveyard, + Friends

Elemantra is a Buffalo, NY-based rock band that blends the hazy textures of shoegaze with the heartfelt sincerity of 90’s emo & indie rock. The quartet layers lush, reverb-soaked walls of guitars over raw and unfiltered introspective lyrics. Their sound—equal parts dense and delicate—channels the spirit of bands like DIIV, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Ovlov to carve out a unique sound where vulnerability meets volume.

Known for their hard-hitting live shows and an ever-evolving sound, the trio channels both chaos and catharsis into every note they play.
