New York, NY- Cage The Elephant tops the charts with “Back Against the Wall” which claims the No. 1 position on Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart this week. 

This is no small feat for the Bowling Green, KY based band that has sold over 250K records since their self-titled debut less than one year ago. The success of the current single follows the band’s gold-certified single “Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked” which peaked at #3 on the Alternative Songs chart selling over 620K digital downloads. Cage The Elephant’s current headlining tour includes two New York area sold-out shows, the Bowery Ballroom on March 2^nd and the Music Hall of Williamsburg on March 4^th.

Cage The Elephant burst on the national music stage in 2007, building a solid following and earning critical attention with their riveting performances in the U.K. and the U.S. at Coachella, Lollapalooza and All Points West.
