Elevation, an Atlanta-based indie rock band,
launches a unique contest that challenges fans to promote Elevation in a creative way in a very public setting. The winning fan(s) will receive a $200 prize for coming up with the most inventive video.

The idea behind "I Got a Backbone" is that the fan will have to come up with a creative idea to promote www.myspace.com/elevation in public, post the video of them promoting on YouTube and in Elevation's comment box on Myspace. Elevation will be deciding the winner based on which video is the most imaginative and effective. The winner will be announced on July 31st.

"We wanted to find out how brave fans are," says Nathan Smith, lead singer of Elevation. Andrew Averso, lead guitarist, also explains, "We're doing this to see if anyone's still got balls anymore."

Go to www.myspace.com/elevation for an introduction to the contest by Elevation and to see what has already been submitted.

About Elevation
Elevation formed with vocalist Nathan Smith in 2002. Now, only years later, this five-piece has all of the essential elements needed for their rise to greatness. Although it is clear that Elevation's music is heavily influenced by classic rock, some of their songs tease the boundaries of genre; sometimes shifting to a more indie or ambient sound. But as the songs play with different sounds so does Smith's voice, distinctive yet familiar (going from soft to punchy, or from clear to gritty) but always completely convincing. Lead guitarist Andrew Averso, rhythm guitarist Luke Hickok, bassist Chase Schell, and drummer Stephen Bailey round out the band.
