Tonight I was joined in the studio by James, Adam and Ross from IRIS. Based in Kent, the alternative rock / post-hardcore quartet (also featuring Rich) originally formed back in 2009 and have released an EP, Out of Fiction, which won them acclaim from Rock sound magazine. With the current line-up established at the end of last year, the band release a new single, Lights at Ten, available on CD and free download on April 29th, and will be touring the South East throughout April and May. They can next be seen live at Finsbury Park’s Silver Bullet on April 4th, and for the full list of dates, head over to www.iris.uk.com as well as the band’s Facebook and Twitter pages.
