| IRIS ARIEL |
| Introduction Iris Ariel has established a distinctive sound through the musical chemistry of bandmembers - Nic Nakamura (songwriter and guitarist) and Adam Coop (lead vocals). The band's diversity ranges from basic guitar oriented Rock to experimental Alternative. The duo's signature sound incorportates the singer/songwriter principles of the 60's/70's era with the modern edge of today's Indie music. |
| History Iris Ariel who's name translates "window to the soul" was founded in 2000 by Nic Nakamura and Adam Coop. Upon returning from a trip of the southwestern United States in September 2000, Nic began writing songs reflecting the transitional crossroad period he found his life in at the time. Shortly after, Nic teamed with longtime friend Adam Coop. Iris Ariel have since recorded their debut album, The Path (2001), and are currently working on the release of their new album No Reflection (2004). |
