Elephant Rifle, who have been active in the hardcore-punk scene since 2010, are based in Reno, Nevada. They appeal to listeners seeking intensity and authenticity with their distinctive fusion of noisy rock, forceful riffs, and politically motivated lyrics. With critically praised studio albums such as Hunk and Broken Water, as well as intense live performances at small venues, Elephant Rifle consistently delivers a powerful, unrestrained sonic onslaught that captivates audiences.
The intensity of an Elephant Rifle performance is unadulterated. With gut-punch vocals, stomp-worthy percussion, and blazing guitar sounds, the stage presence is like a visceral wave. Sweaty, combative, and joyous, it resembles an insurrection in motion. Every moment feels primordial, whether you're grooving to "Current Wars" or losing yourself in the booming beats of "Bel Biv Devoid." Attending in person only intensifies the intensity of what fans refer to as an all-out musical catharsis.
Key performances in Boise, Omaha, and Denver were recently completed by Elephant Rifle, while dates are still being fixed. Additionally, they have been confirmed to perform with The Budos Band on August 25, 2025, in Reno. Whether you want front-row seats or general admission, now is the time to buy your tickets because there are only a few events at intimate venues and demand is growing. If you make your reservation in advance, you'll be guaranteed a spot before these shows become obscure.
