Thriving Ivory

This is a new band that I discovered under "Say You Heard 'Em Before They Were Big!" at Best Buy. They have a beautiful album cover. It's a band of five guys who have major potential, but aren't quite as good as they could (and should) be. The lead singer needs a better technique, but they're pretty good. Good enough to be on my blog at least! So here they are:


Clayton Stroope-lead vocals, guitar
Scott Jason-piano/keyboards
Drew Cribly-guitar, backing vocals
Bret Cohune-bass
Paul Niedermier-drums, percussion

I love their single, "Angels on the Moon". Take a listen (and a look I guess).

Angels on the Moon


Angels on the Moon- Thriving Ivory

Do you dream, that the world will know your name
So tell me your name
Do you care, about all the little things or anything at all?
I wanna feel, all the chemicals inside I wanna feel
I wanna sunburn, just to know that I'm alive
To know I'm alive

Don't tell me if I'm dying, cause I don't wanna know
If I can't see the sun, maybe I should go
Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming, of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know, never leaves too soon

Do you believe, in the day that you were born
Tell me do you believe?
Do you know, that everyday's the first of the rest of your life

Don't tell me if I'm dying, cause I don't wanna know
If I can't see the sun, maybe I should go
Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming, of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know, never leaves too soon

This is to one last day in the shadows
And to know a brother's love
This is to New York City angels
And the rivers of our blood
This is to all of us, to all of us

Don't tell me if I'm dying, cause I don't wanna know
If I can't see the sun, maybe I should go
Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming, of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know, never leaves too soon

You can tell me all your thoughts, about the stars that fill polluted skies
And show me where you run to, when no one's left to take your side
But don't tell me where the road ends, cause I just don't wanna know, No I don't wanna know

Don't tell me if I'm dying
Don't tell me if I'm dying
Don't tell me if I'm dying
