"Tie The Knot With All That You Got," the fourth studio album from Philly pop-rockers IKE, officially dropped the first week in January of 2010, but a sold out record release show on the day after Christmas at World Cafe Live in Philadelphia, at which the band included a copy of the album with every ticket, quickly put TTK into the hands of 500+ people, and word-of-mouth exploded like the "dirty little bomb" lead singer John Faye describes in the album's devastating closer "Aftermath." Immediate reaction from fans has been visceral and music biz types are taking notice. The record has already received spins on key stations along the east coast like Philly mainstream rock stations WMMR (where Faye recently appeared on the hugely popular Preston & Steve morning show), Radio 104.5, and WXPN, as well as 99x in Atlanta.
“John Faye proves he still has some of the best pipes and songwriting instincts in the genre. It is very early in the year, but IKE has set the bar high and is the band to beat for one of the best records of 2010.”
Bill Sullivan - Rock & Roll Report
“Haunted by a dissolving relationship (and by actual ghosts during the recording process, apparently), John Faye sounds like a man possessed on IKE's new "Tie the Knot With All That You Got."”
Patrick Rapa - Philadelphia City Paper
