Influences
melancholy, belgian ale, ratty spring reverbed guitars, spring in the hill country, granular synthesis, that part in the movie where the girl walks out the door, a moscow street corner, serious 80's music, the endless traffic on state and ontario, cowboy hats, talking about honest things in roundabout ways
Sounds Like
Camouflage, Styrofoam, Junior Boys, Depeche Mode, The Killers, Mesh, Underworld, Backlash, Wolfsheim, Glen Phillips, New Order

Taking elements of rock, glitch, retro-flavored-synth music, and coloring it with a decidedly melodic worldview, Iris is a band that's hard to classify. And with their new remix release “Hydra”, they extend their musical boundaries even further.
New breakbeat track up on my Myspace player, FLATLINE (RE-EDIT). To be released through UFO Recordings 12-21-09 on iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, etc. POUNDING basslines and NASTY percussion! Check it out and leave a comment if you like.
A bunch of us are heading to Austin from Dallas just to see u guys perform tonight!
We are hoping in tonight's set list u guys will play some classic Iris tunes from your first cd (Twilight, Annie, etc.)
See ya tonight!

Hoy! I came to friends add you and it looks like I already did 4 or 5 years ago... Fail. So instead I'll tell you how taken and driven I am whenever I turn on your music. Your lyrics are powerful, your beats are not droning or overwhelming like most electronica, and you actually have a taste and touch that you can all say is uniquely your own.
Keep at it guys and yell out if you ever decide to swing by Phoenix or Vegas.
i can't believe it's been four years since i played WRATH into the ground. this guy is hungry for new material beyond that of hydra. VERY hungry. hope you guys are well.
Hey guys! Love your music and I hope to see you again soon in Germany. Hopefully supporting MESH while there tour again? Would be awesome! Take care and SEE YOU soon!
