This is Elision.

Our Bad Habits issue tackles the concept of personal demons, the importance of flaws, and what makes us the most human we can be. 

Its two covers feature Renaissance Men Julian Casablancas of the Voidz and the Strokes and Erwan Heussaff, and includes interviews with The Maine, Public Access TV, Sierra Kay, Laurence Philomene, Robert Mishchenko, and more, plus tons of poetry, microfiction, essays, art, and photographs. 

You should hear this!: “A Warning of Sorts” by Chirping

If you have a playlist for running or going to the gym, you definitely need this. This tune by Chirping is so up beat, it’ll keep you running for days. 

You should hear this!: “All Through the Fire, All Through the Rain” by Rosenblume

Join the Creative Side.

The Elision Team is yet again having an expansion and we want YOU to be a part of it! We’re looking for content creators that can push the envelope, we need minds that think there is no box, no boundaries, we need people who stand out. We need team members who can give us a little of their time, energy and talent and don’t mind contributing to every issue. We are calling for:

Writers If you have a plethora of poetry, fiction, relevant musings and other compulsively readable material, please share it with us! Send us a portfolio (.doc format), and we’d love it if it could be diverse and you feel it’s your best.

Illustrators, Designers and Graphic Artists We’ll be using your work for covers and to help readers picture articles and fiction. Maybe even for a spread! Mail us a portfolio with at least five images (.png format), at least 500px in width.

Photographers We’ve never done an on-location shoot for a cool photo feature or cover before, but it sounds incredibly fun! We’re on the lookout for concert snappers, but it’d be awesome to have photographers who have their own style and never lose ideas regarding the next perfect shot and have a story to tell through their pictures. Send in a portfolio with at least five snaps (.png format), also at least 500px in width.

You Should See/Hear This!: “Golden Fire” by We Were Evergreen

Another Shed Session brought to us by the one and only, Jack and Finn Harries introduces us to  a three-piece Parisian band that sounds like they could conquer the world with their guitars, synths and sweet-sweet music. 

You Should Hear This!: Lunar Lights by Sirena

Springing from beautiful Sweden, comes a fun and fresh tune from 'Sirena', a 22-year-old based in Stockholm and a little bit of Barcelona. Her airy voice surpasses the sound waves and into your veins to get you dancing.

You need to watch out for this girl, keep your ears and your eyes peeled for more electric songs from Sirena!

You should see/hear this!: "Say Yeah" by Mann Friday

These guys will stop at nothing to get Emily Eavis to say yes!

Hailing from all parts of the world from Italy, London, South Africa and Zimbabwe, these guys are determined to get to one place, Glastonbury. This song just proves why they should. An upbeat folk melody that will surely get you singing the words in no time! 

Get these guys to Glastonbury 2015!
