"Elastic No-No Band is like the corn ice cream at Sundaes & Cones. It sounds like it shouldn't work, but after you have the sample spoonful, you find yourself ordering a whole cone." - JEZEBEL MUSIC
Elastic No-No Band is the musical outlet for Brooklyn-based, Ohio-born filmmaker and singer-songwriter Justin Remer. At various times, the band has had anywhere from 1 to 5 permanent members, and their most recent album featured a dozen guest collaborators.
Elastic No-No Band plays songs about cheese fries and Klaus Kinski and manboobs. They play songs about love and sex and pain and stuff. Sometimes they take themselves seriously, but usually they don't.
Elastic No-No Band started off with a straight folk sound, but their style has branched out to include elements of '50s rock, classic country, and more recently, a smidgen of punk and hard rock.
The band has released 2 proper studio albums -- the well-received concept album MY 3 ADDICTIONS and the overstuffed double-CD FUSTERCLUCK!!! -- plus a handful of home-recorded albums and EPs (some of which are available from Olive Juice). You should check them out.
