| THE ICARUS LINE - 'Mono' Holy shit this record totally fucking kicked my arse. Imagine like the Birthday Party, the Melvins, Cedric and Omar from At The Drive-In, and Ben from the Incredible Dead Goons all get together and hijack a senior citizens gambling trip to Las Vegas. They beat up all the geezers, steal all their medication, then proceed to indulge in a week long orgy of gambling, pills, and group sex with cheap hookers in sleazy motel rooms. Now imagine that this frenzy of hedonism and evil created an unholy and demonic offspring. That offspring is the Icarus Line. Sounds a bit like the bands I just mentioned (except for the goons). They're fucking rock. They're fucking punk. As buddyhead say: 'you don't understand this'. There's even a live video of 'feed a cat to your cobra' on here. In which, at the end of the song, the singer jumps the drum kit and pin drops the drummer, taking most of the kit with him. (It finishes with the sound of one person clapping...hah, witty). I HAVE to see these guys live. So, well, this is another 'music' as opposed to 'boring' band. Check it out if you're interested in something different. This is the perfect music to have really dirty, rough, bite and slap each other sex to. Or the perfect soundtrack to killing someone. Maybe even both if that's your thing. Somewhere, someone is going to just spontaneously combust because of this record. Rock me to Russia. Get this fucking record or die. 12 songs, CD |
