About Me

Stranger than fiction... Ivy's itch, a metaphor for a restless mercurial soul or maybe the UKs best kept (for now) alternative secret.
HERE's WHAT THE PRESS HAD TO SAY ABOUT US:"Since there inception they've earned themselves a reputation of live performances that are as visually striking to behold, as the music is to be heard...." METAL HAMMER"..Unsettling and arresting" THE FLY"Packed with exhilarating dynamics to shock the casual listener senseless, the music from this quartet oozes both style and substance. Once you've entered the world of Ivy's itch you won't want to leave - it's an electrifying and terrifying emotional rollercoasterr but boy, does the ride reap it's rewards." BLACK VELVET MAGAZINE"Ivy's itch really are one of those wonderful bands that sond quite unlike anything else you've ever heard and that coupled with an uncomfortably raw and unhinged live show which has won them friends, foes and looks of bemusement wherever they go, could well prove a terrifying prospect for those who like their music safe and predictable".
