If Shirley Manson and The Cranberries were somehow able to bless us with a musical child, it would be Iris. Los Angeles natives, and Covina locals, Michelle Malley (Vocals/ Guitar), Alex Moreno (Lead guitar), Michael Maldonado (bass guitar) and Trevor Wallace (drums), fuse alternative and grunge without falling into the line of generic. Nectar (2014), being their third album, displays the band’s haunting and dreamy approach, while branching from alternative rock roots. The album combines slower-tempos, heavy guitar distortions, and a smoky vocal execution that ranges from a powerful punch to the face, to a sweet lull.
