“It has to be 2011.” That’s what Ivyrise singer, songwriter and founding member Ben Falinski decided at the start of 2010. He had already steered his band to notable independent success, scoring Top 10 hits on the indie charts and even playing to stadium audiences, but his has always been a passion that refuses to be confined. So he changed everything. He kept his best songs, threw the rest out, and wrote more; switched up his band, and stopped when he got to the perfect combination of Dan Tanner (guitar/vocals), Mark Nagle (bass) and Josh Key (drums). It had to be just right.

Together they blagged and grafted and self-promoted their way through 2010 and, as a result, much as Ben had hoped, 2011 really is Ivyrise’s year. Most impressively of all, at a point when half the music industry seems to be desperate to sign a record deal and the other half seems hell-bent on proving how fantastic it is to be independent, Ivyrise found their own sweet spot right in the middle. Signing an innovative new fan-funded deal with My Major Company, Ivyrise can further develop their own sound, style and massive fanbase, with the freedom to explore Falinski’s creative vision, while also hitting huge new audiences and building on the incredible emotional link they have with existing fans.

The first step is anthemic single ‘Line Up The Stars’, a bold, buzzy statement of intent bursting with chugging riffs and skyscraping melodies. Written and co-produced by the band, the single’s a powerful opening volley for a band hungry and passionate about every aspect of what lies ahead. Obviously, hunger and passion count for the square root of sod all if the tunes are no good, but this is of little concern to Ivyrise.

    I don't remember exactly how I met you guys. But I do remember that I loved you at the first song I heard. I really did. It was "Looks Like Heaven", and I thought "it's amazing!". Good luck in your guys carreer, hope you don't mind having another listener.
