Biography

The Ivory Coast, an alternative rock five piece from Boston, is a group with a plethora of backgrounds. Band members Jay Cox (guitar/vocals), Scott Craggs (synthesizer), Drew O'Doherty (guitar), Nick Hubben (bass), and Mahmood Shaikh (drums) blend a jangly guitar pop sound layered with reflective lyrical imagery. The band's debut The Rush of Oncoming Traffic, which was finished in 1998, was finally issued two years later. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
