Don't Tell Iris is a conceptual band whose formation was inspired by the discovery of an anonymous journal entry from the early 1900's. The group combines influences from the 90's and 60's to create a fresh alternative sound, rounded out by Kate Bush-esque storytelling. Olive Martinez, Cody Von Lehmden, Delia Martin, and Chris Nelson make up the members of Don't Tell Iris and are based out of NYC/Boston.
