Raised on the cool precision of late-aughts guitar music and the melodrama of post-rock, Ellevator hold lean hooks and sweeping crescendos in perfect tension, drawing deeply personal reflections from big themes like power, love, and loss. Following the release of their eponymous debut EP 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. In fall 2021, the band released the pulsing single "Easy," followed by hypnotic "Charlie IO". Debut LP The Words You Spoke Still Move Me followed in May 2022. Produced by indie-rock luminary Chris Walla — former guitarist and founding member of Death Cab for Cutie — the album inhabits an emotional landscape that is both breathtakingly intimate and impossibly vast, documenting various experiences to turn universal (existential longing, romantic power struggles, the never-ending work of true self-discovery) and highly specific (such as frontwoman Nabi Sue Bersche’s journey in extracting herself from a cult) storytelling into a hypnotic body of work, giving rise to the kind of radiant open-heartedness that radically transforms our own perspective.

Kingston, Ontario band Kasador have never been scared of change. And the three friends at Kasador’s core—Cameron Wyatt (vocals/guitar), Boris Baker (bass), and Stephen Adubofuor (drums)—have been through a lot of it. They’ve woven years of tumult through their mid- and late twenties into something powerful and real: a tight-knit, sincere, and caring rock and roll band hitting full sprint, with an upcoming full-length record about youth, memory, relationships, and how the relentless passage of time shapes and constantly reshapes all of those things. It’s a bright, punkish, emotional guitar-rock record that ultimately tracks the process of learning to be okay with not being okay. After sharing stages with Arkells, July Talk, Sam Roberts Band, and The Glorious Sons, and racking up 350,000 spins of their 2019 debut full-length in six months, Kasador recorded their new LP Youth (out June 2, 2023) at Bathouse Studio with The Glorious Sons’ Brett Emmons producing and Nyles Spencer (Half Moon Run, July Talk) engineering. Vic Florencia (Olivia Rodrigo, Jason Mraz, Five For Fighting) mixed the record and Peter Letros (Beyonce, Duran Duran) mastered.
