Icarus (2014)

Reykjavík, Iceland

Icarus is a melodic hardcore outfit from Reykjavík, Iceland. Originally formed as a three piece instrumental band, their sound shifted from post-rock to a more volatile hardcore genre. The band has put out one EP, but will be releasing two albums in 2014, one EP due out in March and a full length later in the year. Icarus has toured the US for extended periods during the summers of 2012-13, and they will be heading back for the months of June and July in 2014. The band offers a very energetic live show and has been compared to such acts as The Dillinger Escape Plan, Touché Amoré and Explosions In The Sky.
