The ivy crown were a midwest emo\emo pop band from Michigan. Their sound is, in part, a great bit of that late-90s emo pop where the midwest emo really shines through. Anyone who's a fan of Sterling Silver, February Stars Union, or Ribbon Fix will find some familiarity—they even have the dual male\female vocals going on. That said, their sound is a bit heavier on the post-hardcore and early emo influences than you usually see in this genre; it's bass-heavy and uses the quiet\loud dynamics and occasional shouting. In that way, they're a lot like early-Rainer Maria or even Junction.
Their discography consists of one 1999 LP, …after so much red wine, and a self-titled 7" released a year earlier (the 7" comes courtesy of Desperate and Lonely).
