Check out this Virgin Holidays advert which features the one and only Joe Cardamone flexing out his rock-star routines as a member of Danke Schons. Also check out the following Official Video:

It pretty much consists of old Jubilee related blog posts thus far, but Aaron North appears to have a “new” (old?) personal website up. As to whether this signals his desire to carve out his own niche via the internet – and not be associated with other people – only time will tell. But given […]

After what seems like an age, the internet / SPIN has finally been able to track down the whereabouts of missing guitarist (but not forgotten) Aaron North. SPIN writes a pretty comprehensive article, and gives a really good account of what Aaron has been up to over the last few years since his Jubilee project […]

According to Joe Cardamone of The Icarus Line, the band is “finalizing plans on the deal for the UK (tour). The new record should be out in September.”

It’s called… wait for it… ‘Aaron North: Punk rock, The Icarus Line, Industrial rock, Nine Inch Nails, Buddyhead Records, Jubilee (band)’.

The Icarus Line were on tour with Scott Weiland who died in his sleep recently. As part of my favourite bands of the 90’s, Stone Temple Pilots, he was definitely an influence as well as a major musical hero. Rest in Peace Scott Weiland. May God finally rest your beloved soul…

The Icarus Line have just announced their first UK dates for two years: 10 Oct Cardiff Club Ifor Bach 11 Oct Manchester Ruby Lounge 12 Oct Glasgow King Tuts 13 Oct Wakefield The Hop 14 Oct London Lexington

MXDWN on the other hand were a lot more positive arguing that ‘Wildlife’ is a “testament to whatever rock and roll spirit is left in this day and age. It’s in your face, it’s loud, and […]

Slightly unrelated to your average Icarus Line related news, but ‘The Rev’ – aka Jimmy Owen Sullivan as the drummer from Avenged Sevenfold – has died. Apparently he died from “natural causes”, although the Orange County Coroner’s Office is investigating the death. As some of you may remember, the reason as to why I am […]
