Smiling Ivy are an explosive and outspoken band from Sheffield that perform an energetic fusion of ska, dub-reggae, punk and hip-hop. Since forming in 2007, the five-piece have effortlessly clashed activism and hedonism on records – offering fans an astute and socially-aware observation of the times. While creating danceable, floor-filling music, Smiling Ivy retain enough power and aggression to be an active fixture in the UK’s rock scene. But with reverberations of dub-reggae, funk, and hip-hop, Smiling Ivy are an illustrious figure in Yorkshire’s urban, rave and party scene.
