Description
Ivy Green were a dutch rock band who recorded a number of now hard to find
records during their 15 year lifespan (1975-1990 approx).
They are well known to punk rock collectors for their 1978 debut LP on Pogo/WEA,
one of the most sought after euro punk records. Sales were disappointing enough
for the band to be dropped by their label, after which they went into hibernation
for a couple of years, re-emerging in 1982.
Most sources will tell you that this later line-up recorded nothing of real value
and cite the addition of a brass section as proof of the bands artistic decline.
This is nonsense!
By 1982 the band were no longer playing '77 style punk rock. They had moved on.
They added a brass section and developed a garage rock sound not that dissimilar
to The Saints. They had became one of the very small number of rock groups to
successfully integrate a horn section and still rock. The band had not lost any
of the incredible energy and flair for melody that was their hallmark. These mid-80s
records are fantastic, including a string of superb singles and one fantastic album
in 1984 called "The Quest". By the late 80s they had run out of steam and the
next couple of records are nothing special, until "Real Slow Burn" which was a
late return to form.
