I never pass up the chance to listen to and promote a new rocking SA band. This is one of those time and Irvine is one of those bands!
About the band:
Irvine is an independent London-based rock band.
Forming in early 2006, the band played in and around their hometown of East London, South Africa, whilst working tirelessly on the pre-production for their 5-track EP ‘This is Tomorrow’ recorded at the end of that year.
Released independently in January 2007, ‘This is Tomorrow’ captures the essence of Irvine’s musical philosophy of creating powerful original music that is easily accessible yet still maintains a high degree of artistic integrity. The band’s emphasis on strong melody is balanced by the progressive undertones in their arrangements, rhythms and chord structures, drawing on influences ranging from artists such as Jimmy Eat World and Jimmy Hendrix to Underoath and As Cities Burn. The intensity of Irvine’s live performances is a testament to this careful balance, constantly swaying between the beautifully melodic and the chaotically abstract.
If you want to have a listen for free, mahala, zip, zero, nada, go and visit their MySpace page.
