“I WROTE THIS RECORD IN SOUTH FLORIDA, IN THE ROOM I GREW UP IN. IN THE SAME ROOM ME AND MY FRIENDS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL WROTE & RECORDED OUR FIRST EP, DAMASCUS.
IT SEEMED LIKE A FULL CIRCLE, MAYBE THIS PROJECT NEEDS TO END WHERE IT STARTED? IT FEELS LIKE A CLOSER, BUT MAYBE IT'S THE OPPOSITE?
PEOPLE UNDERPLAY HOW TOUGH IT IS TO KEEP A PROJECT ALIVE. KING SHELTER HAS GIVEN ME MY HIGHEST OF HIGHS AND LOWEST OF LOWS. HAVE YOU EVER PUT SO MUCH PRESSURE OR THE THING YOU LOVE THE MOST THAT YOU BEGIN TO RESENT IT? I WON'T LET THAT HAPPEN AGAIN.
IT'S BEEN A LONG PATH TOWARDS FINDING THE PRIORITY. AS MANY TIMES AS I'VE SAID THIS AS A LIE, I CAN FINALLY MEAN IT:
THE NUMBERS AND STATS DON'T BOTHER ME.
I JUST HOPE THE RECORD DOES SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE”
To many years to come, Rock on King Shelter.

Elliott BROOD
Elliott Brood, often stylized as Elliott BROOD, is a Canadian band formed in 2002. The band's inception can be traced back to the collaboration between Mark Sasso and Casey Laforet, who initially met at Humber College in Toronto. Their mutual interest in storytelling through music and a shared admiration for roots and folk music laid the foundation for what would become Elliott Brood. The band's name, Elliott Brood, is a pseudonym inspired by Sasso's fascination with the character Elliott from the film "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" and the word "brood," which conveys a sense of dark contemplation that often pervades their music.
