NEWS RELEASE
ASHER MEDIA RELATIONS
*************************
Prepare for a relentless onslaught of vulgar, belligerent punk, sludge, and sweat as Ivy Gardens, the sonic architects of chaos, emerge from the shadows of Niagara, Ont., to tour across Eastern Canada this coming May 2024 (dates listed below) in support of their forthcoming first full-length album, Goon, arriving on April 19, 2024.
Brace yourself for an immersive experience as the band delivers a nearly endless stream of beaten-to-hell drums, searing organs, throbbing bass synths, and a liquid wall of guitar sludge, which is showcased in their recently released first single and music video, Boner.
“Opening with a relaxed groove that builds and builds to the heaviest possible climax, Boner has been a major highlight of our live set since it was introduced. Following the more relaxed pacing of the song, the softer vocal performance less seen in our music tells of a (seemingly) simple disagreement between two bitter individuals. Its bridge, the ‘101010’ dirge, is by far the heaviest composition we have achieved to date, and we are so excited to finally send it out into the world,” adds the band.
Watch and listen to the music video for Boner at youtu.be/ZhGSSAPQUxA.

The album Goon contains many tracks that current fans have been hearing live for a while. They know Boner is coming and Ivy Gardens knows many of them are frothing at the mouth for it.
Since their thunderous inception in 2021, Ivy Gardens has been carving a path of destruction across the East Coast of Canada and that will continue with a summer tour announced in the coming weeks.
The volume is crushing, leaving no room to breathe — the auditory manifestation of a panic attack. With no respite, Ivy Gardens invites you into their realm, where the mosh pit never stops, and the phantom ring in your ears serves as the only encore. Goon is recommended for fans of Kyuss, Truckfighters, and Queens of the Stone Age.
Goon is out April 19, 2024, and available for album pre-order at ivygardens.bandcamp.com.
