Grunge shoegaze trio Ivory Daze from Lincoln Nebraska join Quiet Panic to launch their upcoming EP Chlorine while unveiling the new single IV League showcasing their raw and dreamy sound.
Lincoln, NE's rising grunge/shoegaze power trio Ivory Daze have officially signed with Quiet Panic (M.U.T.T., Slow Crush), marking a new chapter for the band as they unveil their next era. Their new single "IV League" arrives August 22, accompanied by a video now streaming here. The track appears on their forthcoming EP Chlorine, set for release on October 17.
"'IV League' is a very important song to me, written about a deeply personal time in my life. We think it's the perfect introduction to our new sound and direction for this EP—pairing well with a tequila sunrise and your choice of geekbar. It was created with the intent of blending heavy music elements like blast beats with pop sensibilities," says guitarist/vocalist Isahen Harms.
Formed by three close friends—Harms on guitar, vocals, and lyrics, Maeve Nelson on drums, and Van Foster on bass—Ivory Daze have built their reputation the hard way: through relentless touring, real-life growing pains, and a deep commitment to their craft. Their journey has taken them across thousands of miles, sharpening their identity into something both raw and refined.
At the heart of Ivory Daze's sound is Harms' deceptively simple mission statement: "I just write pop songs with distortion." Yet their music is anything but basic—Nelson and Foster's churning, adventurous rhythm section drives each track forward, while Harms' guitar and vocal work balances vulnerability with urgency. Together, they channel shoegaze haze, grunge grit, and punk energy into something wholly their own.
With Chlorine, the band pushes further into the tension between chaos and melody, drawing from the best of '80s and '90s guitar music while carving out their own modern path. The result is a record that feels immediate and timeless, shaped by countless hours on the road and in the studio, and brought to life in sweat-soaked live performances that blur the line between hardcore catharsis and rock revival.
