"Elephant Road" is the self-titled debut album of Bangladeshi-American band, Elephant Road. They were a rock and metal band from Minnesota, USA. The band members come from the old-school Bangladeshi rock music scene and are coincidentally part of legendary bands like RockStrata, In Dhaka, Aces and Warfaze. This album was brought to life when they had to leave the country for higher education and personal reasons. It was released in the USA under NineVoltStudio, and domestically under the label of G-Series in 2004.
The domestic release has a very off-axis printing quality of the booklet and its very difficult to read. The american release on the other hand, is crisp and contains different artwork components.
Accessing the bands website remains futile at the time of writing, but much can be read from the feature in The Watson Brothers' website in the link here: http://www.thewatsonbrothers.com/elephantroad/index.html
In case the website ever goes down, I've included screenshots of the home page as well as the page that features the FAQs regarding Elephant Road.
The above writing is done by none other than, Mr. Arafat Kazi aka Futhman, drummer of The Watson Brothers and now the front-man of The Attempted Band.
A newspaper article on the band, detailing it's history, was published in the daily Prothom Alo on April 4, 2002:
