Thriving Ivory March 29, 2007

Thriving Ivory's melodic rock sounds can be described as Cold Play meets Train meets Aerosmith. The Kissing Tigers are from Santa Barbara, CA. If Amestory at first sounds like garden-variety indie-rock of the ultra-serious, heart-baring school, keep listening, because this is much more special than first impressions reveal. For one, this California-based group has an impeccable sense for timing and placement, a knack for arranging that gives their songs an intricacy and complexity that amplifies their uniqueness.
