The sound of Ellison has been described as having some of the trademarks of “Emo,†but with a more graceful, grown-up edge. With great honor, the band has been compared to the likes of Jimmy Eat World, Copeland, and Cartel. Ellison’s energetic blend of indie pop with straightforward rock is sure to deliver a powerful emotional punch to the indie pop scene. Their debut full length CD Say Goodnight, Sleep Alone hit stores in August 2006 thanks to the faith and hard work of Carbon Copy Media, the record label started by J.T. Woodruff, lead singer of Hawthorne Heights.
On September 25th, 2007 a brand new song by Ellison called “Let Your Guard Down†mixed by famed producer David Bendeth was released on the Punk The Clock Vol. 3 compilation alongside Jack’s Mannequin, The Almost, The Starting Line and more.
Ellison will release their sophomore release, Color Of Compassion, independent of any record company on June 3, 2008. Ellison is already looking ahead to plans for a second release in 2008 and will continue to tour the country and share their passion for music with newfound fans.

From Victory Records...
Victory Press ReleaseChicago, IL - Cincinnati based Carbon Copy Media has entered into an exclusive, long-term distribution and upstream pact with Victory Records on a worldwide basis. JT Woodruff, Founder of Carbon Copy Media and lead singer for Victory recording Artist Hawthorne Heights said, "Working with Tony and Victory will allow our artists to grow beyond any and all expectations. Starting this label and music media company has been a dream of mine for a very long time. I am very happy that Victory and I always share the same passion and vision. Our first two bands are Cincinnati's own Ellison, and Crown Point, Indiana's Asteria. Expect big things from these bands come May, as well as a few other exciting releases from the Carbon Copy Media/Victory family.
One of the reasons Hawthorne Heights has been successful is because they talk to, care about and truly interact with their fans online and before and after every performance, says Victorys Tony Brummel. JT makes himself very accessible. As the singer of one of the biggest rock bands in America he is also very noticeable. Every day he gets a tremendous amount of music that he enthusiastically listens to. A&R happens on the street and JT is on the street every day. If the bands do well with JT they will have the opportunity to be uplifted to Victory. Hawthorne Heights current album is the third longest running rock album on the Top 200. Obviously, that has happened for a reason. We are expanding our collective passion and that is a very special thing to be a part of.
We are very excited. If any of you post on AbsolutePunk.net please support us on those boards. We really appreciate anything at all.
Also, Add us on MySpace if you havent already. We will keep posting news as we recieve it.
