Gig Reviews
The Icarus Line / Modey Lemon / Shooting Victor Francis

@ Nottingham, Rock City Basement - 03/05/04

...repetitive rhythms, using the unavoidably awesome abilities of their drummer.


The Icarus line, however, touring in support of second album Penance Soiree, failed to beat the sound in a very disappointing way. They didn't really seem arsed to try to be honest. Although they've certainly got some riffs up their sleeve, more often than not the songs seemed pretty indistinguishably filler-like and frontman Joe Cardamone may as well not have been their for all he could be heard above the band. Some excellent moments showed the band's undeniable talent, but frankly it was mostly just painfully dull.

Dan Snowdon - 6/10
