Drops Colorful “Mr. Romance” Video
Debut LP Nope Out Today on Don Giovanni Records
Nationwide Tour Hits NYC Tonight!
“Izzy True, a band that digs in deep with that distinct but ephemeral light, rocks hard and wide in the face of that eternal sinking horizon: a force to be reckoned with.”
– Ithaca Times
“It’s rawly-recorded folky, punky indie rock, up a similar alley to early Waxahatchee.”
– BrooklynVegan
“… rocks & rolls on the heels of identity-fluidity and a bunch of cool coughing riffs.”
– Impose
“From the moment the cowbell rings and the classic guitar line screeches to a start in the opening second of “Total Body Erasure” you know you’re in for a treat.”
– Ghetto Blaster
“Izzy True channels … defeatism into rootsy and accessible throwback rock ‘n roll that lifts you up instead of bringing you down, and they do so with an alluring style and flair.”
– Stereogum

With accolades from Stereogum, Ithaca Times and more, indie-punk quartet Izzy True release their debut LP Nope, today via Don Giovanni Records. Album opener “Mr. Romance” showcases a melancholy vocal timbre complemented by playful lyrics and upbeat guitar melodies. With a handful of glitter and colorful face paint, Izzy puts their art-punk touch on the “Mr. Romance” video which hones in on the emptiness and sterility that can come from a revolving door of relationships. The “Mr. Romance” video premiered with AV Club today and is available below.
Izzy True kicked off a lengthy national tour with a hometown show in Ithaca last night, hitting NYC tonight, meandering throughout the South and Northeast, eventually landing in Toronto. Be sure to catch the captivating live show in the city near you!
A rollercoaster of emotion, edgy instrumentation and irresistible melodies,Nope was born out of the experience of frontperson Isabel Reidy dropping out of school and moving home to deal with mental illness. Songwriting became a cathartic and joyful way to combat those issues. The end result is a rock and roll album which makes space for misery. Nope is about magic, loneliness, and learning to like yourself.
