From the awesome band MAKER!
So here it is, what we have all finally been waiting for the NEW IRIS!
IRIS are currently rehearsing night and day for their upcoming tour later this month with I Divide!
Having recently recruited new bass player Ross Gilbert (Chase Motive, Predicting the Fall) and Drummer Rich Goodyer (Mantis) the boys are working harder than ever to perfect their set for the shows ahead.
Having always been a tight unit there’s a lot of hours to put in and are now more determined than ever to achieve the success they strive for.
Their 6 track EP ‘Out Of Fiction’ was released in August and has had amazing industry reviews and a great his response among their rapidly growing fan base, which was highlighted recently on their acoustic tour with pop punkers Promise Me Tomorrow.
Vocalist Adam Smart told us ‘Our main goal now we have a full band again is to make as much of a noise as possible. We are ready to tour this EP every month until next spring and also can’t wait to record fresh material with the new boys!’
IRIS expect to blow up over the coming months and to secure as many festival slots for next summer as possible.
With I Divide recently having massive exposure winning the Red Bull Jam and other tours in the pipeline with Tu Amore and label mates We Came From Wolves, things are looking extremely positive for IRIS and we can’t help but agree these boys have an awesome year ahead!
The video for their single ‘Out Of Fiction’ will appear on Kerrang TV in the coming weeks and the I Divide Tour begins in Swansea on October 24th-31st.
The Afterparty have just got back from the road and they left this note:
Thank you to everyone that came to a show, bought some merch, and drunk a beer with us. Our Innocence Lost and Jody Has A Hitlist have been incredible. See you all next time! Big love!
We hope for your sake you caught the boys in action!

Whilst auditioning for new members IRIS set off on a mini tour with Promise Me Tomorrow and Better left alone.
As an acoustic duo the two reworked tracks off their latest EP ‘Out Of Fiction‘ and performed in Sheffield, Derby, Cambridge, London and finally Margate where they will play to their local crowd!
The shows have been successful and they have gained new fans as well as a new feel for the songs themselves.
Touring is what the boys most love to do and whilst originally the prospect of touring as a two piece was rather daunting they soon found their feet and enjoyed themselves fully!
Being close friends with Promise Me Tomorrow and staying on campsites also brought many late night laughs and typical touring antics followed just about every show!
It’s back to business as usual soon and once a new lineup is confirmed IRIS have great things coming up including longer tours in October and November!
These tours are now going on, make sure you don’t miss them!
