With The Icarus Line now effectively over, and with Joe Cardamone having since charted out new musical territory with his “Holy War” project, I spoke to the former frontman when he toured London (UK) in March about the dissolution of his band and what he hopes to achieve. Enjoy! Joe, you’ve embarked on a solo […]

After Don Devore’s exit from The Icarus Line, Jason DeCorse was drafted in, and worked with the new configuration of the band between the years 2007 – 2012. Whilst only appearing on one studio album, the band’s fourth – Wildlife, Jason DeCorse (along with fellow guitarist James Striff) took the band in a more blues-orientated […]

Alvin Deguzman was the guitarist of an American band called The Icarus Line. Although I’d known about The Icarus Line since 2001, it wasn’t until 2004 when I finally got to meet Alvin after his band performed at The Reading Festival. Since then, I’d make sure to go and see him whenever he toured the […]

So here goes… First up is Kerrang #1011 June 26 2004 in which Travis Keller was featured as being 37th in the magazine’s ‘The A-List – The 100 Most […]

It’s been a while since I posted anything on this site. Apologies… Joe Cardamone got interviewed by Alice Magazine recently. It’s actually a really good interview, and worth checking out. Plus, there’s a really good quote that I particularly relished in which the Mighty Joe articulated that he associates himself with those who inspire him. […]

Joe Cardamone was recently interviewed by Stevie Chick for The Quietus.
