History

Smoke Over Elsewhere formed in the beginning of 2020 by Rhys White and former member George Parnell, while the Covid-19 pandemic took hold of the world the pair would end up living together writing and building ideas to form the back bone of the bands sound. Once the world began to open up once again Parnell's influence was replaced by Callum Baines and Jon Felfoldi once again building upon the ever growing sound, After a short hiatus in December of 2021 frontman Rhys White would take to the stage with a fresh line up witch included former Crosslight guitarist Paddy Attenborough. After numerous shows across the UK between 2021 and 2024 the band disappeared from the world before making a return in 2025. 

Exploding back onto the scene in 2025 with a fresh line up including former Manchester based punk artist Grace Burke on bass and Jake haigh on drums Smoke Over Elsewhere are back with a vengeance, with their debut single "Rock 'N' Roll Woman" released in April 2025 and more to follow before they head out on their 2025 UK tour.
