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.

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.

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]
