Up and coming Chorley band Elohymn celebrate the launch of their new EP with a free gig this week.

After recently recording five tracks at London's Earth Terminal recording studios, the band returned to Chorley and have arranged the launch night for EP for Thursday, at Harry's Bar, St George's Street.

Elohymn are made up of Tom Boardman, 20, his brother Bill, 23, and Chris Hope, 20.

The band perform without a vocalist and use samples and slow building atmospheric grooves to delight their ever increasing live following.

Elohymn guitarist Tom, said: "Recording in the studio with top engineer Peter Miles was a real learning curve for us.

"We are pleased with the results and are arranging plenty of shows in the spring to promote the EP.

"We have great support in Chorley and I'm sure it will be a good night at Harry's Bar."

Elohymn are also booked to play The Adelphi, Preston on March 15 and Worden Arts Centre, Leyland, on April 7.

Among the songs recorded for the EP are SOS, Ghandi and live favourite Wolves.

Also playing on Thursday will be The Shoks, who will showcase their garage punk reminiscent of The Buzzcocks and The Stooges.

Completing the line-up are the Jackpot Golden Boys.

The music begins at 9pm and entrance is free.
