VIntage Electronic Ads
A Gallery of Elm Treason ads from the band’s early days
For those who are into the band’s history – when we were just pups in the promotion realm – we’ve complied a cool collection of the ads we used across social media to promote what was going to be our first album.
Notice the “vintage vibe” theme that runs through just about all of them.
(Photoshop is a wonderful thing, ain’t it?)
Enjoy, Treasonites!

Eye to Eye.
I Feel Fine.
I FEEL FINE – one of the greatest records ever recorded… period. In my (Andy’s) humblest of opinions. In every way.
EYE TO EYE – I’ll have to check that one. 🙂
War Pigs
Yup. A QUCK REACH for the volume knob… each and every time.
Locomotive Breath
TULL!
Nice.
I love the slogan “New Vintage.”
It’s a great description of the songs y’all write.
Thanks, Bill!
For it’s time, it kind of worked for us… but part of us also didn’t want that “vintage” label stuck to us. Of course, our hope was that “vintage” was not to be thought of as describing something old – like an ADJECTIVE, but rather more like a NOUN as in time an place of origin.
We can’t deny, however, that we used the word on purpose knowing how it would be taken.
Crazy kids we were.
Foreplay/Long Time – Boston
I (Andy) am with you there, Rich. That’s a “volume knob grabber.”
Baba au Reilly, the Who
I don’t need to fight… to prove I’m right
Ted Nugent’s “Stranglehold” and Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir”.
Love ’em both, Bob. BIG TIME.
Excellent selections. That volume knob will serve you well!
“Psycho Killer” Talking Heads
Qu’est-ce que c’est?
Limelight has me reaching for the knob.
Sweet.
I dig them boys.
Ever hear of Elm Treason? Check ’em, if you haven’t.
La grange. Zz top.
They got a lot of nice girls….
The beginning of the first side of 2112 by Rush. Side note: I leave it turned up for the entire side.
VERY GOOD call…. Once the volume is up, leave it there… let the music do its job.
I still have the Kiss comic.
Do you really? I (Andy) know I don’t… but as a little kid, I sure did.
VERY COOL, Al.
So many….
Kashmir
Tom Sawyer
Iron Man
The Trooper
Battery
Just to name a few…😄
Killer set, Vinny! Diggin’ what you’re layin’ down, brother.
Cover of the Rolling Stone
To this day, STILL one of my all-time favorite tunes…
“I got my dear old grey-haired daddy drivin’ my limousine…”
Sweet Home Alabama. Just following instructions.
🤣🤣🤣 When Ronnie makes the suggestion, it would be CRIMINAL – if not downright rude – to refuse!
Rock& Roll by Heart…Copperhead Road Steve Earl and She’s Gone by Hound Dog Taylor love that guitar sound of his..
TOTALLY dig your vibe, Ellen. Make that volume knob WORK for it!
Thanks a million!
2 songs intro to crazy train,and intro to sweet child o mine
Killer one-two punch, Barb.
THANKS! Hope you are well.
call me the breeze, skynard; the joker, steve miller and just about anyacdc song! Those song titles sound intriguing! P.S back to volumn; Uptown Q and Everybody everything, santana get cranked as soon as they play on my player Oh , shoot almost forgot Suffragette city, Bowie
YOU are the one to ride with, Shelley! LOVING LOVING your picks… CALL ME THE BREEZE is one of the GREATEST road jams ever!
Ever since I was a kid, Van Halen’s “Why Can’t This Be Love.” Eddie’s slick synth hook and the steady pound of Alex’s drums are a killer one-two punch leading into a great tune.
