Black suits, blacks shirts and red ties

"Mono" is ICARUS LINE's debut, originally released through Crank! Records, and re-released with the help of BuddyHead.

ICARUS LINE stands at a crossing between bands such as AT THE DRIVE-IN, BLACK FLAG, 80's MATCHBOX B-LINE DISASTER, REFUSED, The BRONX and The BLOOD BROTHERS. This is the Punk roots of Hardcore with a dirty sense of Rock'n'Roll.

It's a solid LP with unexpected changes, inventive riffage, scorched-out but melodic vocals and a real attitude.
I heard somewhere the LP version was kinda hard to come across (I saw it once at a record fair and bought it!). Check the picture below (I hoped it was better quality though), it's a beautiful marbled/smokey brown slab of vinyl and some very fine tasting music. Find it!

ENJOY!
