ICEAGE
[Matador Records: Copenhagen, Denmark]

“Their lifeblood is that X-factor no music nerd can chart: wild,
implacable energy. Pure and dark and infectious enough to prompt a pit
in your office kitchen, let alone a basement full of frustrated,
flailing kids.” – SPIN

“Some of the year’s most engaging punk & post-punk—with remarkable
style, melody, & plenty of hustle & clamor.” – New York Magazine

ICEAGE bio and press
http://iceagecopenhagen.blogspot.com

Just out of their teens, it seems Copenhagen’s Iceage have only added
to the anxiety and tension that made their debut album, New Brigade,
so compelling. "You're Nothing", their sophomore album, is the sound of a band pushing their singular mix of punk, Goth, hardcore, and post-punk to even further extremes.

When you see Iceage live you get the feeling the songs are just about
to fall apart before miraculously recovering, always rewarding you
with a climax. This menacing energy is forceful, epic, like a rough sea.

Since the release of their full-length debut, New Brigade (What's Your
Rupture?/Abeano/Escho), Iceage have also plunged themselves into
various other projects: Jakob and Dan have been working on their metal
band, SEJR ("victory" in Danish); Elias has released a solo 7" under
the name Marching Church on Posh Isolation, and a 7" with Vår, a
project for which he's working on a full-length album." - Matador

Praise for New Brigade:
“A refreshing and extraordinary debut. They’ve located a punk-rock
sweet spot: mixing the black atmosphere of goth, the wild-limbed
whoosh of hardcore, and the clangor of post-punk, made all the more
impressive by one important intangible: energy.” – Pitchfork [BNM]

“Sonically dense and manically focused, but with an intriguing looseness about its churn, the album bathes a pileup of punk sub-styles in the flickering shadow of goth.” –New York Times
