iceage


The american hype machine is currently spasmodic over this Danish band. Listen to satellite radio or open a music mag and you're likely to find them. In punk and indie's current life crisis any band with a gleam in it's eye could be the next standard setters. iceage won't fill those shoes. I doubt any band within the next decade could. Youthful, violent, nihilistic, the wheel isn't being reinvented here, but who says it has to? Their debut album, New Brigade, sounds as though it could have been released in 1979(which saves me the trouble of referencing all of their obvious influences.). An energetic and quick listen, it'll keep music heads interested.
