Here are a few scans from Kerrang’s blowout feature on The Icarus Line (circa 2002). To the best of my knowledge, this was the only time that The Icarus Line ever graced the front cover of the British media institution (although I could be wrong). The article contained within was also a veritable highlight. Anyway, […]
