The Visceral Emotion of Thriving Ivory

That’s why reviewers and tastemakers are scrambling for superlatives and making bold predictions as the Bay Area-based quintet rise from the grassroots towards their destiny. “When it comes to Thriving Ivory, it’s not a matter of if… it’s when,” says cutting edge webzine The Owl Mag. “They sound like they’d be right at home in a big arena,” notes indie music hotspot Insomnia Radio. “[A] band like Thriving Ivory is one in a million,” observes DecoyMusic.com. “Simply awe inspiring,” raves the Sonoma State Star.

San Francisco rock radio station KITS Live 105 added the unsigned band’s demo of their cornerstone song “Angels on the Moon” early in the band’s career. It leapt past far more established acts to become a Top Five listener request, and earn year-end accolades on the “Best Of” lists by the station’s staff. As the fan base grew, and Thriving Ivory became a red-hot concert attraction across California, Arizona and Nevada (and already expanding nationwide), they continued to pack enthusiasts into such blue-ribbon venues in their Bay Area home base as The Great American Music Hall, Slims, and The Independent.

It takes but a listen to Thriving Ivory’s self-titled debut to hear the indelible sound of timeless rock for modern day music lovers that has created such a stir. It’s a stunning and captivating disc that matches musical grandeur and punch with visceral emotional impact and melodies that embed themselves into the listener’s consciousness.
