Unapologetically original, uncompromising in their vision, Edmonton-based El Niven and The Alibi (ENATA) create music which is equal parts poetically-bittersweet and rank rock and roll. With a natural bent for lyrics, ENATA’s sound, infused with life-experience and grunge rock attitude, is undeniably theirs.

 

ENATA was conceived in a musical therapy program at a juvenile detention centre when guitarist and lead singer, Elliot Niven, met drummer, Jeff Burwash, in their youth. With an obsession for groove-laden rock and roll, ENATA’s combined devil may care attitudes – together with a love of being on the road – has landed the band on a musical stride. Over the last few years, this has resulted in a collection of “dangerous music.” They are true blue rock and rollers, blazing a path with their own brand of Western Rock.

​

Rich with influences in grunge rock, classic rock and electric blues music, ENATA’s newest single Cigarettes embodies an unfiltered, no filler attitude delivered with cool-handed intention. Bold and rich with both love and angst, ENATA latest single will leave you satisfied and craving more.
