About Cage the Elephant
The band's core consists of Matt Shultz on vocals, his brother Brad on guitar, Nick Bockrath on guitar, Daniel Tichenor on bass and vocals, Jared Champion on drums, and Matthan Minster on keyboards, vocals, and guitar. Their 2009 hit Ain't No Rest For The Wicked became a defining track for the decade, peaking at number 3 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart and landing as the opening song for the video game Borderlands. The single's success opened doors to broader commercial recognition and established the band as serious players in modern rock.
Their catalog reflects consistent growth and critical respect. Tell Me I'm Pretty and Social Cues both earned Grammy Awards for Best Rock Album in 2015 and 2019 respectively, with Entertainment Weekly noting that Social Cues paired introspection with urgent energy. Their songs have penetrated pop culture beyond music charts: Cigarette Daydreams appeared in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 video game, Goodbye featured in The Summer I Turned Pretty, and Trouble powered a global Amazon Prime campaign. The group's sixth album, Neon Pill, channels turbulence into 12 tracks that balance moments of elation with tense riffs and jittery grooves. The Groove Hunter currently tracks 11 editions of Cage the Elephant releases, including Melophobia, Tell Me I'm Pretty, Social Cues, Unpeeled, and Neon Pill in various pressings.
