As someone who has been a massive fan of The Icarus Line since THAT 5K Kerrang review, what can’t be emphasized enough is just how much of an impact Aaron North had whilst he was in the band – whether it be through Buddyhead or via his own numerous interviews that he conducted over the […]

It must be said that The Icarus Line were really tired by the time they rolled into London for what was to be their final UK show. And although Joe Cardamone was more tired than most, he was still courteous enough to grant me this quick interview with him. I am sorry for the delay […]

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. I can only thank Joe and the rest of The Icarus Line for their continuing patience. This interview was also re-printed on the Poptones website […]

Here is a set of articles which first appeared in Kerrang #1002 (April 24 2004). Among them is a competition, a tour announcement, as well as the coveted 5K review for The Icarus Line’s seminal Penance Soiree album. Enjoy!

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.

This is an article which first appeared in Kerrang (issue 1004) and was published on May 08 2004.  I’m sorry to use such a crude title, but the heading was actually used as a tagline to the following article below.

Earlier last year (May 2009), Joe was kind enough to answer a few questions for the STS Forum. Here is the (cleaned up) complete interview and reprinted in full: seasoninhell: Is the album recorded? Yes. The record is tracked. All that remains is mixing and mastering which is taking place over the next couple weeks. […]

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 a entry about Penance Soiree taken from Wikipedia. Penance Soiree was the second full-length album released by The Icarus Line. It was one of 2004’s most critically acclaimed releases, and it’s reputation has subsequently earned praise in various publications, including the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Due to infighting […]
