Featuring three high-school friends, Reddmond Perone, Joseph Gara, and Garrett Shafer, the Metuchen, NJ-based trio The Ivory Orchids formed the band with the purpose of creating unique music that touches upon the aspects of a variety of emotions. Interestingly, “It’s Alright,” the first single off the trio’s recently released EP manages to sound as though it channels The Bends-era Radiohead — in particular, “Fake Plastic Trees” as the song possess a similar quiet introspection with a bitterly ironic sensibility just underneath the surface.
