Today, the BBC announced that UK indie rockers Elbow have penned the theme song for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, which will take place next year in London, UK.
“We are knocked out to be involved and it’s been quite a challenge,” frontman Guy Garvey said in a statement. “We have feelings of real responsibility as we will be the soundtrack to so many images of personal sacrifice and endeavour while the nation roots for and celebrates with Team GB.”
The original track is said to be in the final stages of production. The Summer Olympic Games kick off July 27. [via Consequence of Sound]
