Elvis Costello & The Attractions is an English rock band from London that was formed in 1977. It consists of Elvis Costello (vocals, guitar), Steve Nieve (keyboards), Bruce Thomas (bass) and Pete Thomas (drums).

The band's first album, "My Aim Is True", was released in 1977 and was a critical and commercial success. It spawned the singles "Less Than Zero" and "Alison". The album established Costello as one of the leading singer-songwriters of the punk/new wave era.

Their second album, "This Year's Model", was released in 1978 and was a bigger success than its predecessor. It spawned the singles "Pump It Up", "Radio Radio" and "Oliver's Army". The album was a mix of punk and new wave music and showcased Costello's songwriting skills.

The band's third album, "Armed Forces", was released in 1979 and was their most successful album. It spawned the singles "Accidents Will Happen", "Oliver's Army" and "Green Shirt". The album was a mix of punk, pop and new wave music and featured more mature and sophisticated lyrics.

The band's fourth album, "Trust", was released in 1981 and was a more experimental and diverse album. It spawned the singles "Clubland" and "New Lace Sleeves". The album featured a mix of styles including reggae, funk, pop and jazz.

The band's fifth and final album, "Goodbye Cruel World", was released in 1984. It spawned the singles "The Only Flame in Town" and "The Comedians". The album was a mix of pop and rock music and featured Costello's signature wit and clever lyrics.

One interesting fact about Elvis Costello & The Attractions is that they were the backing band for singer-songwriter Nick Lowe's 1977 album, "Jesus of Cool".
