Iceage, Black Lips, Surfbort
âWhat is it that Iceage in particular brings?â asks punk icon Richard Hell in a recent essay about the band, released alongside the announcement of their new record Beyondless. Hellâs answer to his own question is the undeniable consensus: âA large number of extraordinary things.â The Danish rockers of Iceage have grown quickly and gracefully through four albums, evolving from noise-leaning hardcore into post-punk by way of Nick Cave. With a live setup now featuring saxophone and violin, Iceageâs Wonder Ballroom performance promises to showcase a band constantly pushing their own limits.
