Following their signing to Marshall Records earlier this year and the subsequent release of their debut single “This One’s for You” on June 22nd, 2018, (via Marshall Records and Eleven Seven Music), London-based alternative quartet Elswhere are proud to announce that they will move forward on their path to success under a new name - Thousand Thoughts!
“Unfortunately we got hit with a US trademark infringement and had little choice but to change the band name”, explains the band. “However, we feel the name fits perfectly with everything we’re about, without tying us down to a certain sound!”...
To cement their new name in the minds of the masses, Thousand Thoughts are gifting fans and newcomers alike with a fresh dose of addictive, melodic and modern alternative rock to cling to. Releasing on November 9th, via Marshall Records and Eleven Seven Music, the band’s upcoming video single “Perspectives” sees the band return to their expansive, atmospheric alternative sound - and the return of producer Romesh Dodangoda (Bring Me The Horizon, Funeral For A Friend etc.), who lent his talents to the band’s previous single “This One’s for You”.
News of the quartet’s fresh identity comes as Thousand Thoughts gear up for a short run of UK tour dates through late November with labelmates Rews, taking to the stages of Manchester, Bristol, London, Sheffield and Birmingham.
Thousand Thoughts are keen to take their sound on the road and show the UK what they’re made of!
“We are very excited to be out on the road with label mates Rews. Having only released two songs, it is a fantastic opportunity to take our music around the UK and play to some new faces”.

Hailing from Enfield, London, Thousand Thoughts have effectively exploded onto the modern alternative scene, seemingly from nowhere! Taking cues from the much-loved genres of nu-metal,pop-punk and alt-rock, the young quartet have risen from their initial formation to a label signing with Marshall Records and a single release in just a matter of months.
Back in January 2017, Thousand Thoughts performed together for the very first time under their original name ‘Elswhere’, and it wasn’t long before the band were showing off their skills at local shows. It was at one such show that they were discovered by fledgling record label Marshall Records, and quickly moved on to bigger events like Wilkestock festival, performing alongside the likes of VANT, Razorlight and The Sherlocks. Despite this, the band maintain their strong stance on mental health issues and the well-being of others, with a string of successful charity performances.
Thousand Thoughts’ debut single “This One’s for You” was released 22nd June under their original name ‘Elswhere’, through Marshall Records and; Eleven Seven Music. With support from Kerrang Radio, Rock Sound and BBC Introducing, the track is still causing a stir in the alt rock scene even after release, approaching 100,000 Spotify streams and 200,000 YouTube views.
Line-up:
Ethan Smith – Lead Vocals and Guitar
Jack Botterill – Lead Guitar and Backing Vocals
