Since forming in 2007, Richmond, VA pop rockers The Jim Ivins Band have been making a name for themselves in the Virginia area and beyond, scoring rave reviews from publications like Absolutepunk.net and Property of Zack, while also garnering artist of the month honors from MuzikDizcovery.com and artist of the day at Fanbridge.com. They have also been fortunate enough to share the stage with national acts such as Parachute, Carolina Liar, The Rocket Summer, Cracker, The Ataris, Mae, Carbon Leaf, Pat McGee Band, He Is We and Every Avenue, as well as showcasing at the 2009 Miami Music Festival. Their latest offering, 2012's Everything We Wanted, showcases a maturity and expansion of their sound, from the delicate acoustics of love song "Rollercoaster" to the frenetic rock of "Emergency" and the sexy syncopation of "Lost My Mind." Inspired by a recent show opening for rock radio favorites Switchfoot and The Airborne Toxic Event, Ivins decided to look farther inward when writing for Everything We Wanted, crafting a record soaked in introspection while touching on a myriad of emotions and situations like addiction ('The Sight Of Fire'), sex ('Lost My Mind') and moving forward after experiencing tragedy ('Everything We Wanted')." Proving themselves to be universally appealing, in 2010 The Jim Ivins Band signed a licensing deal with MTV. Their 2009 self-titled EP was engineered and mixed by Grammy Award-winning engineer Michael Congdon and features the song "The Chance," a single produced by The Early November's Ace Enders that has caught fire on internet radio giant Pandora, racking up 160,000 spins and counting. Says Skope Magazine, "whether it’s rock you crave or pop goodness that you desire, [The Jim Ivins Band] will satisfy all of your musical needs."
