The band was first formed in while its members were secondary school and opted for the name Elbow in 1997.[1] The band recorded a 5-track demo EP entitled Noisebox, named after the studio where it was recorded. Four songs were later re-recorded for the deluxe edition of the debut album while a live-version was chosen for the fifth.[2] The band were signed to Island Records and recorded an album with Steve Osborne that was shelved after the Universal take-over.[3] Released from their contract, the band released the Newborn and Any Day Now EPs through Ugly Man Records that featured some of the material recorded with Osborne.[4][5] In early 2001 Elbow signed with V2 Records.[6]
