Doves: 'Elbow Are Finally Getting The Credit They Deserve'

March 23, 2009
Doves: 'Elbow Are Finally Getting The Credit They Deserve'Doves guitarist Jez Williams says that he's happy their fellow Mancunians Elbow are getting the “credit they deserve”.

Speaking to Gigwise ahead of the release of 'Kingdom Of Rust' on April 6, Williams joked that Doves are now in Elbow's shadow following all their recent acclaim.

Referring to the inevitable comparisons between the two bands, Williams told us: “We just can’t escape the whole Elbow thing, but they’re finally getting the credit they deserve. We helped them out a lot in the early days but they clearly don’t need us anymore!

“Every week they’re picking up more silverware for The Seldom Seen Kid - much more than Man City is ever going to pick up!”
