Ionian - Sometimes we amaze even ourselves

About Me

Ionian are a 5-piece, Cumbria-based Alternative Rock Band. They play a mixture of covers and original music, and have just finished their debut album which is now available to buy online at CD unsigned. Please click on the links below to order!.
The band formed after Kiefer and Jamie left their previous band (after artistic differences). Jamie moved school to Keswick, where he met Sophie and her brother John. After a couple of jam sessions together, they decided to start Ionian.
Ionian love making their own original music, and if you like what you hear, please get in touch with us for more information on gigs or the new album!
Ionian's blend of Neo-Prog and Alternative rock stangely compliment each other to give a unique but raw sound, although likened to such bands as Audioslave and Pink Floyd, Ionian's sound is like no other that you have heard before.
But please, don't take our word for it! Ionian have recently been lucky enough to get a review in the national rock music magazine "Rock n' Reel". Here are a few quotes: "A young five piece band from Cumbria bringing together the seemingly disparate strands of metal, prog and the kind of gothic-edged folk that all about eve sepcialised in", "Not short of imagination and a willingness to showcase their own individual talents", "Frontwoman Sophie Wilson takes the opportunity to shine vocally" (the full review can be found on our blog)
