First published in Kerrang May 19 2001, the following is a feature length article that describes The Icarus Line’s struggle in wanting to be taken seriously by people and the music industry, and the lengths to which the band had to go to in order to retain credibility. Not wanting to sell out, The Icarus […]

The following clippings are of The Icarus Line’s appearance in the British music magazine ‘Rock Sound’ (Issue 98) and give a brief snapshot of the band at their most vulnerable. They feature a review of The Icarus Line’s weakest album to date (in my personal opinion), as well as an interview with Joe Cardamone. Yeah, […]

Just one of the reasons as to why 2004 ruled… This article was printed in Kerrang January 10 2004.

Wikipedia entry for The Icarus Line’s first ever release… Highlypuncturingnoisetestingyourabilitytohate! Highlypuncturingnoisetestingyourabilitytohate was the first release of the Hollywood-based rock band The Icarus Line. It was released in 1998 as a vinyl 7-inch, and was limited to 1,000 copies.

[…]

I still have a few articles from magazines that need to be posted on here – including that (in)famous 5K Review of Mono. I’ll post them up when I have time (and a new scanner)… I have also decided to archive as much TIL content from the web as possible. I guess there is just […]

Stevie Chick has a really interesting feature up on his site. It’s a reprint of a really old article he was involved in whilst being associated with the legendary (yet short-lived) ‘Loose Lips Sink Ships’ magazine. Read it here, and then tell all your friends. It was a tense show, unforgettable, perhaps the most fearsome […]

Here is the first part of my exclusive interview with Jason, Joe and Wade from The Icarus Line when the band came over to London in 2008.  Check back soon for the second part to that interview. Before their recent “secret” show at Old Blue Last in London, I was lucky enough to catch up […]

For a while now, I’ve been wondering as to whether I still had in my possession the original Kerrang article which announced Aaron North’s exit from The Icarus Line stable. Luckily, I was able to find it recently (in Kerrang #1044 February 19 2005), and am posting it here below: Also, and I think I […]
