'playing tracks from the boutique label Folkstock Records..label boss Helen Meissner says she wants to champion female songwriters with this release and bang the drum a bit especially as we have a female producer Lauren Deakin Davies who has produced all the other tracks on this fine compilation of grass roots female artists. And many thanks to Helen for pointing out to me in good time that todays show falls in International Women’s Day, which is why the whole show celebrates women; women’s achievement, women’s pride and womens’ struggle.” Tom Robinson, BBC6 Music

“It may be a small operation, but British label Folkstock has become shop window for an impressive roster of youthful singer songwriters who roam far beyond the borders of the traditional repertoire.….
Clive Davis, The Sunday Times 15/03/15

“It is reported that only 13 per cent of songs registered with the Performing Right Society are by women songwriters. Which makes The F Spot both a statement of intent and a welcome piece of music. There are 10 songs by 10 different ‘femmes fatales’ and they are of a consistently high standard, whether from a trailblazer such as Peggy Seeger (You Don’t Know How Lucky You Are) or a young London student called Kaity Rae (It Is)….there is much to enjoy in a variety of styles and approaches… The album is from progressive British label Folkstock”.
Martin Chilton, The Telegraph. 04/04/15

“Not a hint of treacle on this atmospheric, no frills compilation from a label that is nurturing some our most promising folk talent.….. There isn’t a weak link to be found”
Clive Davis, The Sunday Times 14/12/14

“In a relatively short time Folkstock Records has established itself as the ‘go to’ place for those folk artists that many other labels ignore. And the result of their ‘opportunity creation’ has delivered some outstanding artist to a wider and highly appreciative audience. Without discrimination by position in the genre, longevity or gender, Folkstock has consistently ‘done a fine job’ in bringing folk music to your ears" Tim Carroll, Folkwords

“It has been a distinct pleasure to see the work Folkstock are doing, I particularly like the blurring of musical genres that they encourage and the anchoring of these relatively new stars to their particular visions and voices for people to judge them almost stripped bare”. Peter Taranaski, She Dances in the Mind blog 30/09/15

Described by Spotlight Music UK as a band that “…sure know how to entice the senses with grown-up, grassroots alt-rock, befitting of a superhero blockbuster trailer".

Since the release of their debut EP False Sense of Security, the Gateshead band has built a reputation for their outstanding and unique music. 

Already a firm favourite in local circles, the band have gathered a lot of praise from various music press, both nationally and internationally, and it’s no surprise that they are becoming recognised for their signature sound, which they describe as ‘explosive’ with ‘thunderous’ rhythms. 

While people are enjoying their music far and wide online, Elephant Memoirs are also an experienced live band playing a number of shows across the UK. This has been coupled with regular national and international radio play including being handpicked by Tom Robinson for his BBC Radio 6 show. 

The band has made significant steps so far in 2021. With 3 well received singles already under their belts, they have seen streaming figures surpass that of all other previously released music. They continue to look to build on foundations they have and progress even further.
