The debut record of Elastica was the fastest selling debut album in the UK for a couple years while they held that record. They could never follow up with there self entitled album as they split in 2001. They received considerably a lot airplay over here in the States as well with there hit single "Connection" as I heard it get played on the radio recently actually. Vocalist Justine Frischmann's brings a Blondie like witty style to the music. She at the time was in a relationship with the frontman for the Blur Damon Albarn. I think in some ways it's still a rarity that female rock bands like Elastica exist. They're aren't a whole lot of big ones come to think of it. L7,Jack Off Jill, Kittie and The Go-Go's are the top ones off my mind. I know I'm missing an obvious one...hmm. Anyway's it's good nineties music if you're in the mood.
