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. Luckily, I was able to find it recently (in Kerrang #1044 February 19 2005), and am posting it here below: Also, and I think I […]

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.

‘Rock Axxess’ just published an interview (in Polish and English – you just need to scroll past the Polish version, as the English version starts straight after) with The Icarus Line in its latest issue. The fact that I conducted the interview is but mere coincidence. Check it out below:

Wikipedia entry for The Icarus Line’s first ever release… Highlypuncturingnoisetestingyourabilitytohate! Highlypuncturingnoisetestingyourabilitytohate was the first release of the Hollywood-based rock band The Icarus Line. It was released in 1998 as a vinyl 7-inch, and was limited to 1,000 copies. The songs are very short, and the most reminiscent of the band’s earliest output, which was heavily […]

Another article from The Icarus Line’s heyday.  This was first printed in ‘Salt For Slugs’ Vol. 4 No. 3 2001, and I am sure that I was very lucky indeed to have picked this up.  Anyway, enjoy…

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. […]

For The Icarus Line’s European tour late last year, the band found themselves in a rut after guitarist Lance Arnao unexpectedly dropped out of touring commitments. In need of an urgent replacement, and as a consequence therefore, Joe and the gang scouted out fellow LA resident (and temporary replacement) Karl Spider who was more then […]

Here are a few scans from Kerrang’s blowout feature on The Icarus Line (circa 2002). To the best of my knowledge, this was the only time that The Icarus Line ever graced the front cover of the British media institution (although I could be wrong). The article contained within was also a veritable highlight. Anyway, […]

As part of his ongoing ‘Buddyhead Radio’ series, Buddyhead supremo Travis Keller spends over two hours delving into all things The Icarus Line related this week when he interviews band leader Joe Cardamone. During their rather extensive discussion, and I’m only about one hour in, we get to learn a little bit more about the […]

Here is the second part of my exclusive interview which I conducted with the band when they played at The Old Blue Last last year in London. The interview may be a year out of date, but I guess it’s better to be late than never. You can also take a gander at the first […]
