Here's a band where if you don't like them at first, it might take a bit of convincing for you to realize that they really are good. You just need to get past the lead singer's voice.
Thriving Ivory's lead singer, Clayton Stroope, doesn't have a voice that sounds like the rest. Honestly, watching the music videos, you wonder how the voice matches the person at all. But that's not to say it's a bad thing at all, it's just very unique, and if you can see (hear?) past that obstacle, you'll realize that they guys are REALLY good songwriters.
Their debut single "Angels on the Moon" was a slow climber of the charts, pretty much for the same reason. It took a while to get past the vocals to realize that is really was a well-written song (I still think it was the best written song of 2008), and their new single follows into that mold as well.
From San Francisco, I present to you Thriving Ivory, and their new single "Hey Lady"
You've gotta admit, weird voice or not, Thriving Ivory sure can write songs!
