short bio : (full bio here)

 

ELLiS·D spent his formative years flailing his limbs across the tattered kits of Europe's basement scene before launching a solo project in 2022. The ensuing two years has seen him in a state of consistent performance, painting the walls of sweaty dives, concert halls and festival stages alike across the continent with his nervy brand of gothic art-punk.

Working closely with DIY label Crafting Room Recordings (run by Archie Sagers of Ladylike) 2025 saw the release of sophomore EP ‘Spill’, marked by the epic seven minute motorik-glam single ‘Drifting’ leading to festival appearances at The Great Escape, Halden Pop, Best Kept Secret and many more to cement ELLiS·D as one of the breakout acts of 2025. Thrown together with his other role as the drummer for Fat Dog, ELLiS·D has built a reputation from his tireless touring schedule and electrifying live performances as one of the hardest working artists on the circuit.

“Imagine if David Byrne and David Bowie merged in a bizarre scene from a 1980s sci-fi bonanza. Then imagine if that new beast wandered into a goth club during that same era. Half glam rock, half neurotic punk but fully stylistic in its musical carnage. The result is ELLiS·D.” - Far Out
