Defining Grunge-Pop since 2025
“Pop-rock should just be called pop nowadays because it’s all pop and no rock. I mean come on, where are the guitars anymore? We need to stop lying to ourselves; its pretty much all mid at best.”
Liverpool-raised guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer Dylan Ivy weighs in on the state of rock music in the year 2025. And he believes his new solo project might be the answer rock fans have been waiting for.
Whilst this is his first solo venture, he featured on Busted’s recent album: Greatest Hits 2.0, on which he played guitars and was part of the engineering team behind the production. This album included collaborations with The Jonas Brothers, Hanson, All Time Low, Deaf Havana, amongst many other staple artists in the pop-rock realm.
That album reached number one in the official UK charts. Coincidence? Who knows.
Dylan Ivy released his debut single “The Light Of The Day” and B-Side “Go!” in September 2025. The single is the first track to be released of his upcoming full-length Album, ‘Hedonism’ which will appear in early 2026. With a broad range of influence including metal, indie rock, electronic, hip hop and psychedelic, the self propelled direction of the music speaks for itself.
“This project is purely about the music. Nothing else. No politics. No vanity. No material; It’s about the music. It’s never been about being cool or making money. I just love making music. Everything I stand for is in the music. I write songs songs about my life and my experiences. Yet I feel everyone can relate to the things I’m talking about in some way. Yes; we’re all different, but in some ways we’re all the same. I think music and people are at their best when those similarities and differences are celebrated.”
“If you like these songs and can resonate with them the same way I do; then I encourage you to support this project. There’s so much more to come. And it’s going to be a lot of fun to experience it all with you.”
