Musicians

The Resume

    (2000- )
    Born in Denton, Texas
    Members are Mike Eli (vocals, guitar), James Young (guitar), Jon Jones (bass guitar), and Chris Thompson (drums)
    Notable singles include 'Even If It Breaks Your Heart' and 'Crazy Girl'

Why they might be annoying:

    Their name is misleading, as there is nobody in the band named Eli Young.
    They recelived negative publicity after Mike Eli forgot the words to 'Star Spangled Banner' twice during the pre-game ceremony at a Kansas City Chiefs game (2010).
    They weren't known outside of Texas music circles until 2008.
    Most of their lyrics are considered too dark and melancholic for country music.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Mike and James were college roommates at the University of North Texas.
    They got their break by opening for Miranda Lambert.
    In addition to performing, they write a lot of their own songs.
    Upon getting their break, they went on a rigorous tour schedule in order to get mainstream exposure.
