Ellevator on the rise with new track 'New Survival' and tour with OLP, Matthew Good
Yeah, cheap headline pun I know - Ellevator from Hamilton, ON, have signed to Arts&Crafts and released a new single, 'New Survival'. Delivery is somewhere between Amy Milan and Emily Haines. They are on tour with Matt Good and Our Lady Peace on some West dates but have their own date at the Drake in Toronto Feb 10 and 11 2018. Worth digging into I'd say.
