History
Ivoryline formed in 2003 under the name Dead End Driveway, releasing an EP and an album under this name before changing the name to Ivoryline in 2005.[1] Soon after the name change, the band was selected to play at the 2006 Vans Warped Tour.[5] While on the tour, they were scouted by Tooth & Nail Records,[5] who signed them in 2007[6] and released their debut full-length, There Came a Lion, in February 2008.[2][3] The album hit #25 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart and #15 on the Top Heatseekers Chart.[4]
The group toured with Automatic Loveletter in July 2008, then embarked on their first headlining tour (entitled "There Came a Tour") with There For Tomorrow, In:Aviate, and The Lives of Famous Men. The band is currently a four-piece and working on new material.
In February of 2009, they premiered their music video for "Days End" on AbsolutePunk.net[7] -- the video, filmed in mid-2008, includes their former guitarist.
