Just so that The Icarus Line could kick off 2010 in style, here is an interview which I conducted with Joe Cardamone for the New Year. Can I just say that I would like to thank him for taking the time out at such a busy time, and I wish the band well for what […]

Here is my interview which I conducted with Joe from The Icarus Line circa 04 February 2008. What does the word “Friend” mean to you, a word so wrongfully abused? To me there are several different levels of friendship. Some friends would break their back for you. Some friends would sell you out for a […]

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 […]

Here is my first ever interview with Joe from The Icarus Line. I spent a lot of time preparing these questions (about a year) and wanted to get them right.

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

Even if Don Devore’s stay within The Icarus Line was relatively brief, he still managed to contribute towards what many consider to be the band’s magnum opus (Penance Soiree). And whilst he would eventually exit the band after the release of Black Lives At The Golden Coast, a lot of people considered him to be […]

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 […]

Apologies for any delays to the site, and apologies again for publishing the following interview – which was originally conducted in 2008 with ex-members Jason DeCorse and James Striff, alongside present member Alvin DeGuzman, on the morning after The Icarus Line played at The Old Blue Last (London). Due to the length of the interview, […]
