Ellis*D

Additional information

Best known on as the manic drummer of Strange Cages, and more recently Jealous Nostril, ELLiS·D spent ten years flailing his limbs across the tattered kits of UK and Europe’s basement DIY scene before starting out his solo project in 2021. Leaping viciously between psychedelic jangle, disco-infused kraut rock and taut post-punk attack, the intense energy found in the drummer-turned-frontman’s live performances mirrors the tongue-in-cheek, post-2016 nervous hysteria that run through his lyrics, driving at the heart of today’s doom-laden culture on the brink of nervous breakdown.
After signing with DIY label Crafting Room Recordings, the energy found in ELLiS·D’s live shows was replicated in the studio with an abundance of releases in 2022 notching up two EP’s and four singles in the space of 12 months, along with London sell out shows at The Shacklewell Arms and Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes and a first UK headline tour.
