Ivytide is an Indie band from Montreal, Canada. Founding members, Nathan Gagné (vocals/guitar), Kyle Ruggiero (bass) and Jamie Snytte (guitar) met at a recording studio, where they started to develop chemistry in their songwriting. A mutual love for lo-fi indie music led to the production of bedroom pop songs with intricate, but catchy melodies, which float on top of well-thought-out instrumentation. Ivytide released their third EP “softy” on September 1st, 2021.
