The Elvis Brothers were a power pop trio (with a hint of rockabilly and roots rock) comprised of
Rob Elvis (guitar, vocals),
Graham Elvis (bass, vocals) and
Brad Elvis (drums). Formed in the early '80s in Chicago, the band released a pair of albums for Portrait (
Movin' Up in 1983 and
Adventure Time in 1985) that, while not groundbreaking, were well-crafted pop, highly regarded in power pop circles.
The Brothers were dropped from Portrait mid-'80s after some personell changes at the label left them without support. The original line-up returned in 1992 with the limited edition
Now Dig This for the independent Recession label. Recession also reissued the first two albums on one compact disc. Both
Graham and
Brad continued making music,
Graham as a solo act and
Brad in the band
Big Hello.
