As far as Eleventh He Reaches London is concerned, distance makes the heart grow thwarted and dark rather than fonder. Hailing from Perth, Western Australia; a vast area of land separated from the rest of the country by an expanse of desert. This isolation has afforded Eleventh the luxury of growing organically, independent of the clichés and trends often present in larger communities. The result is a band that draws on inspiration from all corners – it’s an orchestra of unease, an anti-manifesto of poetry and personal history.
After first taking to the stage in 2003, and releasing a sought-after demo as well as appearing on numerous compilations, Eleventh self-released their debut album in December 2005. “The Good Fight For Harmony” received acclaim throughout the world, sat atop of the local charts for several months, and sold out of its first pressing within 8 weeks of release.
Throughout their career, Eleventh He Reaches London have toured with Coheed and Cambria, Gyroscope and Cult of Luna, supported acts including The Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge, ISIS , Against Me! and Les Savy Fav, and played the In The Pines, Taste of Chaos and Soundwave festivals, alongside bands such as The Offspring, Incubus, Killswitch Engage, Rise Against and The Used. Along the way, the band has won two West Australian Australian Music Industry Association (WAMi) Awards from six nominations, and received considerable radio airplay across Australia .
Eleventh released and undertook a national tour in support of the “Girt By Piss / Hill Of Grace” vinyl single, the b-side of which received a nomination for WAM Song of the Year. The band's last album "Hollow Be My Name", clocking a full hour was their most ambitious project thus far, and was met with glowing reviews for its while odd but thrilling combination of textures and brilliant exploration of Australian folklore, history and the sense of ones identity.
