Ellevator is a band from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, previously known under the moniker The Medicine Hat. Raised on the cool precision of late-aughts guitar music and the melodrama of post-rock, they hold lean hooks and sweeping crescendos in perfect tension. Frontwoman Nabi Sue Bersche wields her arresting lyricism with clear-eyed lucidity, drawing deeply personal reflections from big themes like power, love, and loss. Citing influences that range from stadium limelight (U2, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush) to the warm glow of indie haunts (Feist, Spoon, Death Cab For Cutie) Ellevator’s music hits with the impact of great pop songs and the fierce emotional resonance of their rock and roll heroes.

Following the release of their eponymous debut EP Ellevator - Ellevator in 2018, Ellevator cut their teeth on the road, sharing stages with the likes of Amber Run, Banners, Our Lady Peace, Arkells, Bishop Briggs, Cold War Kids, and Dear Rouge. Their debut LP Ellevator - The Words You Spoke Still Move Me, produced by Chris Walla (Death Cab For Cutie, Foxing, Tegan & Sara), released in 2022.
