Dubbed the “Adele of Doom” by her local LA music peers, frontwoman \u003cb\u003eMichelle Malley\u003c\/b\u003e’s vocals have the power to envelop with smokey warmth, destroy with anguished belting, and arrest with unbelievable restraint. Bassist, \u003cb\u003eMichael Maldonado\u003c\/b\u003e, provides the much-needed anchor in the bewitching melodies and reverb, while drummer, \u003cb\u003eGlenn Chu\u003c\/b\u003e, pushes unrelentingly forward. Guitarist, \u003cb\u003eGraham Walker\u003c\/b\u003e, joined in 2022 instigating a new, more collaborative way of working for the band. This chemistry is undeniable on stage as the intentionality applied to live performances leaves audiences stunned to silence in moments, brought to tears in others when impaled by Malley’s emotional screams, all the while supplying a satisfying amount of crushing distortion to head bang through. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe success of Iress’ newfound anatomy can also be heard in the exceptionally composed, staggering wave of doomgazey sound on the upcoming \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSolace\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e EP, which tells the story of the brutal reality of change: inevitable, painful and beautiful. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"These four songs are some of Iress’ most haunting work, and 'Solace' might be a shorter release, but it comes with no shortage of power and vulnerability. These songs work into your emotional DNA and identify with all of the darkest elements of your experiences, acting as something of a comfort when weary. It’s an exciting glimpse of perhaps where the band is headed, and we wait with bated breath for another full-length from this evocative band.\"\u003c\/i\u003e - \u003cb\u003eMeat Mead Metal\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Every single note is as heartfelt as it is carefully constructing and adding depth to Iress’ world of dreary beauty.\"\u003c\/i\u003e - \u003cb\u003eSputnik Music\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"On 'Blush,' Malley channels doom legends King Woman, while the forthcoming EP itself is a powerhouse that’s soaked in a heavy dose of 90s grunge, calling back to bands like Alice in Chains and Deftones.\"\u003c\/i\u003e - \u003cb\u003eBloody Disgusting\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAll orders ship out at least once-a-week.
