The vocal in fact is a high point of the HiFlyer experience and an interesting topic considering that, as a child, lead singer Elle had an illness that almost took away her ability to talk, let alone sing.Her vocal chords were damaged during a procedure to clear her airways after she contracted pneumonia.In spite of doctors concluding that Elle would be lucky to walk or talk, due to lack of oxygen to the brain, here she is today fronting the most promising of UK bands.Interestingly, an illness that should have stripped Elle of her voice has instead given her a stunning and instantly recognizable asset.
Regulars on the Bristol music scene, HiFlyer have built up a loyal and active fan base.Following them from venue to venue, HiFlyer fans have built the band's reputation in and around Bristol and are prepared to carry the name of the band across the country!HiFlyer's debut album ‘Here Comes The Sunshine' was released last year to rave reviews, and built the band a solid reputation within various music magazines and journalists. ‘Antarctika' continued the band's success, and new single and EP of the same name ‘Chasing Rainbows' looks certain to push them forward into the mainstream.Elle's voice has drawn comparisons to the likes of Corrine Bailey Rae, Nerina Pallot, Aimee Mann and Sarah McLaughlin, and the band themselves have had various comparisons to a whole host of artists such as Counting Crows, Sheryl Crow and even Fleetwood Mac.
