Formed in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, in 2024, elbowsway is the creation of people who united over a shared passion for the dense textures of shoegaze and the raw emotional depth of emo.
Their music is a deliberate fusion, aiming to blend the crushing American shoegaze sound by bands like <a href="spotify:artist:60mqEPQp1eNjuwt1Z4yL4J" data-name="Nothing">Nothing</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4g6ODwOQYRZLsP89kEoBIu" data-name="Narrow Head">Narrow Head</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:7mhFqGccO5U4pn90mix9S1" data-name="trauma ray">trauma ray</a> with the melodic angst of key emo and post-hardcore acts such as <a href="spotify:artist:6sM2JCBjZprP7JLMTZZSxX" data-name="Hum">Hum</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2CnhqfjUG0qzsru0SMuhrk" data-name="Title Fight">Title Fight</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1sylmUjlKYsLA49YtkNHW3" data-name="Cursive">Cursive</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:3N4eFtnZCCXfMs0hBQwujT" data-name="Mineral">Mineral</a>. They also draw the alternative aggressive, modern impact of Oklahoma bands like <a href="spotify:artist:2v0x2qsSuy06OiFIo8zX6s" data-name="Money">Money</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:4BmrwEGjJ60tg79uY4OjRA" data-name="cursetheknife">cursetheknife</a>.
elbowsway made their debut with the single <a href="spotify:track:3GrlYVz9Mi1G5lGzfYwbvY" data-name="common sense">common sense</a> in November 2025. The band is set to release their second single, 'sleep debt' in January 2026, followed by their full debut EP in early 2026.
