Ivy Dye Drop Their Second EP
Ivy Dye is a Chicago band formed in 2011 by Chris Adams, the head songwriter. His best friends, who happened to be the musicians he played with regularly, were going off to college, so he needed a new outlet. Thus, Ivy Dye was born. Blending elements of ’90s alternative and a love for ’80s reverb, Adams has whipped up some songs that are accessible to many. The band’s first EP, Lyme Times, dropped in 2012, is followed up by a second EP, Continuations. The band is currently playing and promoting the current EP release in the Chicago area. The band’s major musical influences include Nirvana, Tokyo Police Club, Passion Pit, Vampire Weekend, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, and The Joy Formidable.

“Indie Rock is the freedom to pursue what you want. No sound is off limits and experimentation is openly invited, because if it weren’t then there simply would be no element of wonder in the genre. It exists as an open outlet for creativity.” – The band’s answer to the ‘what is indie rock’ question on the submission form.
