Ivy Gardens Drop Their Sludgy, Sweaty Debut Album “Goon”
Ivy Gardens - Boner
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhGSSAPQUxA
Alright, folks, if you haven’t already been swept up by Ivy Gardens, now’s the time. The Niagara, Ontario crew—masters of raw, unfiltered punk and sludge—delivered their first full-length album, Goon, back in April 2024. And let me tell you, it’s an auditory onslaught like no other.
These guys aren’t playing around. Imagine this: drums that’ve been pounded to oblivion, organs that scorch through the mix, bass synths throbbing like a Saturday morning hangover, and a wall of guitar sludge so thick it might just knock the wind out of you. That’s Ivy Gardens in all their brutal glory. Their lead single? Boner—yeah, you heard that right. It’s the “feel-good” hit of the summer, assuming your idea of “feel-good” involves a sonic sledgehammer to the face.
But don’t be fooled—Boner isn’t just a noise-fest. It kicks off with a deceptively chill groove, luring you in before slamming into you with the force of a freight train. The vocals, surprisingly soft for these guys, spin a tale of a “simple” disagreement between two bitter souls. And then, the bridge hits—a heavy-as-hell dirge they’ve dubbed “101010.” Trust me, it’s their most bone-crushing piece of work yet.
Goon is more than just a debut album; it’s a setlist Ivy Gardens fans have been craving. Since their thunderous arrival on the scene in 2021, they’ve been wreaking havoc across Canada’s east coast. And with a summer tour already in the works, this runaway train isn’t slowing down.
Ready to dive in? The volume’s punishing, the intensity’s relentless, and there’s zero room to catch your breath—it’s like a panic attack in musical form. Ivy Gardens is daring you to join their world, where the mosh pit never ends, and the ringing in your ears is the only encore you’ll get. If you’re into Kyuss, Truckfighters, or Queens of the Stone Age, then Goon is about to become your new favorite album.
Goon dropped on April 19th, 2024, and you can grab your copy on Bandcamp.
