Ean Elliot Clevenger (also known as Ean Elliot) is a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and songwriter best known as the former singer and songwriter for A-F Record's political hardcore-punk band Pipedown. Prior to the formation of Pipedown, Clevenger was a vocalist and bassist for the Sublime Records band Silage. He has participated in several North American, European, and Van's Warped Tours with many of his bands including: Pipedown, Silage, Dance For Destruction, NMBRSTTN, and Cruex Lies. He has provided guest vocals on Anti-Flag's albums For Blood and Empire[1] and A Benefit for Victims of Violent Crime.[2] He is known for the strongly voiced left-leaning political lyrics and imagery within his music.

Since the break up of Pipedown in 2005, Ean has been working with several other acts. In 2009, as reported by Punknews.org,[3] his band Dance For Destruction released its first full-length on Lorelei Record's.

In 2011, Ean joined the Canadian band Crashscene,[4] featuring members of Bodog Music's Neurosonic and Lava/Atlantic artist Bif Naked. The band disbanded with the passing of singer-songwriter Jacen Ekstrom.[5]

Since 2016, Clevenger has been working with his latest band, Creux Lies based out of Sacramento, California. Creux Lies was recently signed to the seminal post-punk label – Cleopatra Records. Meanwhile, he continues working on producing various EDM based material and lending his voice to other acts. Clevenger also is pursuing a teaching career in the Sacramento area, briefly having taught at the prestigious Folsom High School alongside Mark Hallam.
