Ivy Rose Shares Single – “Midnight”

I recently had the chance to catch the all girl rock band Ivy Rose in action at Kollaboration DC a few weeks back and walked away with my interest piqued regarding their material and their music. Thanks to this clip from Youtube, I can hear a studio version of their work in the form of a single called “Midnight”. The band has promise and an interesting package going for it, and with some tweaking and polish, I think they could continue to grow their fanbase. This clip features various footage from different shows they did, all set to the song.
