What does it take to survive the music business today? Well, Joe Cardamone of The Icarus Line gives a candid and extremely frank interview on the potential hardships which musicians suffer in the age of digital distribution and the internet. Aside from him talking about how ‘Touch and Go’ went out of business last year […]

I don’t know as to how legitimate this article is, but it’s really funny, and manages to capture the rock n roll craziness of what The Icarus Line were about circa 2004. You can read the full article (along with comments) here, but I am re-posting it on this site just in case the owner […]

With news surfacing of a “narrative feature film about LA freak out rock and roll group, The Icarus Line“, it was only appropriate that someone would try to find out a little bit more about Director Michael Grodner’s forthcoming project. And with this in mind, the co-founder of Honor Roll Productions was more than happy […]

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 […]

The following is promotional tour material (including interview) for when The Icarus Line were going to tour UK in 2002. Both were printed in Kerrang Feb 16 2002:

The following is an article that was printed in Kerrang June 30 2001. In it, Joe Cardamone set out the band’s manifesto, and what UK audiences could expect from The Icarus Line when the group invaded the UK a few days later.

Thanks to Erik Wheeldon for informing me of a really comprehensive Jubilee interview starring Aaron North, Michael Shuman and (to a lesser extent) Jeff Lynn. During the interview, topics ranged from how The Icarus Line disintegrated (before Joe Cardamone put the band back together again), Aaron starting Jubilee after leaving NIN, the recording process for […]

Stevie Chick recently penned another great article about The Icarus Line for The Guardian (Online). It’s more of a career retrospective, and you can check it out here.

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 […]
