I recently have had the pleasure of experiencing this band in concert and now own the CD. I think they are indeed, the fresh face of young rock and are doing something new, despite what the negative reviews say. So many times rock bands try to do something new and create something so bizarre it's simply un-listenable. Thriving Ivory has all of the key elements of rock with a beautiful piano line and killer vocals to take them to the next level. Clayton Stroope's vocals are refreshing and incredibly beautiful. the rest of the band is a strong support for such a clear, unique, vocal tone. Tracks 1-4 are my favorites, but the entire CD is a good listen. You gotta see these guys live...
