New Releases
TORONTO
With a shoegazey new single called Toronto, Ellis in Transit continue to weave different emotions and visuals into their discography. You are lulled into a soft and hazy hallway that begins to warp and your view becomes distorted. The band likens this song to “the struggles after moving from one country to another, suffering hardships in this new city and not knowing where you fit in” and “growing older wondering if you made the right decision to leave your old life behind in search of success.” Toronto is a trippy, vulnerable and reflective track.

FEEL IT
Distortion drags through an opening portal that stretches and bends with each note. You plunge into the endless layers of this melody. Ellis in Transit steps into another dimension that swirls with vibrant colours and reverberation. The track encompasses change with the shoegazy style and morphing vocals. Feel It relays the story of a relationship crumbling as communication hits a wall. Feel It encompasses an otherworldly mood as the song takes you through the cosmos.

about
Ellis in Transit are a British-Canadian indie rock band from Hamilton, Ontario. Migrating from Scotland to Canada, Ellis in Transit transformed from an acoustic duo into an alternative four piece. The band are known for pairing powerhouse blues-rock vocals with Britpop 90s guitar riffs, creating a sound that is unique yet “dripping in nostalgia”. Their debut single 'Thousand Feet Deep' attracted the attention of local and international radio stations alike, prompting the band’s feature on Y108 Hamilton’s Emerging Artist Showcase. Sirius XM recently picked up the band's newest dreamy single 'Toronto' for regular airplay. "Alexandria’s voice is a force – her distinct and powerful vocals make the band instantly recognizable, and they’re only just getting started" - Kristin Archer of 'I Heart Hamilton Radio'.
Ellis in Transit have amassed some of Ontario's best music festivals including NXNE, Canadian Music Week and The Sound of Music Festival, opening for Sublime, Jamie Fine and Tokyo Police Club to name a few. The band are on the rise, competing in 102.1 The Edge’s Band Opener Contest to open for Juno award winners Monowhales, being finalists in 97.7 HTZ-FM The Rocksearch and winning JJ Wilde’s “Born to Die” duet contest.
“There are moments [...] where I feel like I could be listening to this in a blues bar from an old movie and moments where I could be in the middle of an arena concert with a ripped tee-shirt” - Dropout Entertainment
