Icarus Line – Down At The Front https://www.downatthefront.co.uk The place to be to experience new music Thu, 13 Feb 2020 19:27:18 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 212659681 Icarus Line https://www.downatthefront.co.uk/archives/1024 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 22:06:37 +0000 http://gigs.pahudson.net/?p=1024 Icarus Line have just released their fourth album, Slave Vows. This was my introduction to them as a band. So this was the first time I’d seen them play live.

The evening started well with two bands following the current glut of singer/guitarist and drummer. The first Horsefight, were in someways a straight forward garage rock band. But the simple formula worked because it was driven by some strong drumming. The second band were God Damn with a much more scuzzy feedback drenched sound. But equally good.

Due to setup issues, the gig ran a bit late. So it was 10:30 before Icarus Line came on. They’d also just arrived in the UK that morning. So it was never going to be a long set. But sometimes a little bit is a good thing. The short explosive set seemed to concentrate on their latest album which was perfect for me, and as it’s a good album, it was the perfect set for me.
