The first song the band composed was written in 30 minutes and received a great response via the web. Then came an unexpected gig at Rocas and the band set to work in writing song after song in the space of five days. For a month they worked on and improved each song as well as writing new ones. Egil and the Elk then took part in a Battle Of The Bands contest in d:qliq hosted by Bonus Noise and to their surprise and delight, won first prize. Feeling the support of the growing fanbase, the band was encouraged to go on to work harder and want more!

Egil and the Elk strive to achieve their goals and with their music, delight their listeners!
