Escucha el nuevo sencillo de Vår (Elias de Iceage), "Into Distance" Vår (Elias Rønnenfelt de Iceage ) comenzó como un grupo de punk lo-fi y poco a poco experimentó con el noise, y el techno pop, de hecho ese es aparentemente el sonido de su álbum debut, No One Dances Quite Like My Brothers . En su último sencillo, " Into Distance ", el cuarteto reviste sus orígenes y demuestra que todavía tiene un corazón punk. Aquel brillo electro-dark de " The World Fell ", [...]

La portada de 'Holy Fire', uno de los mejores álbumes del 2013. El 2013 ha sido un gran año para la música, uno repleto de asombrosos debuts y esperadísimos regresos que han logrado tenernos al borde de nuestros asientos casi diariamente. Lo más impresionante de todo es que apenas llevamos un tercio del año y hay muchos otros títulos interesantes en camino, desde Daft Punk hasta Boards of Canada . Hay mucho para emocionarse, pero antes consideramos que vale la pena mirar atrás y recordar los grandes discos que salieron durante los últimos [...]
Of course it makes sense for a country with a climate as unrelentingly bleak as that of Sweden to pump out music ever entrenched in the key of melancholy. And by that same logic, it makes lucid sense for bands from Stockholm and the surrounding areas to favour the sunless stylisation of, say, dark-wave . As such – yup, you guessed it – may we introduce you to the grim disposition of Nordic four-piece Fun Control , and their forbidding début track, Trickle-down Effect. Vocally redolent of Dave Gahan, lyrics of pistol barrels pointed right between the eyes – [...]
Danish post-punk band Lower has dropped a new track in promotion of some North American tour dates that they have pasted onto the cover art for this song. Observe: "Another Life" features some intensely busy drums, noisy guitars, and some really bitter vocals. The end result is enough to have me psyched for the band's debut full-length.

The excellent Danish punk band Lower are part of the same Copenhagen scene that produced Iceage and Vår (as well as Marching Church and Sexdrome , among others). Based only on the few higher-profile names I'm familiar with, it's probably as good a scene as any in the world right now. If Iceage is the band that broke down the doors, Lower is poised to charge right through them: The two groups will tour North America together later this year, and sometime this fall, Lower will release their debut LP. "Another Life" is [...]
Photo by Oda Edjar Starheim The ruminations of one of Philadelphia's most well put together punk shows had a risk. Heading the formative billing of White Lung , Night Birds , and METZ was Iceage , the youngest of the four bands with easily the most buzz surrounding them. And with that favor came the band's less-than proud reputation of its listless live shows, which, given their youth, was somewhat unsurprising. Preceding Iceage were three groups with consummate energy. White Lung, starting relatively early, ripped through last [...]
Photo by G. Iceage On every blog in the blog-o-sphere, they are unanimously up Danish punk band Iceage's dress. Iggy Pop has raved about them. They are young kids, making it more impressive that they are rockin' at such a young age. Most kids in this band are around age 21 now (approximately). Well that's the legal drinking age in America and these punks decided to drink to excess before going on stage at New York's Bowery Ballroom for a sold out show on April 20, [...]
Culminating an impossibly stellar lineup of garage punk up-and-comers Night Birds , White Lung , and METZ , is frequent buzzing Dutch four-piece Iceage tonight at Philadelphia's First Unitarian Church. The outstanding youth of the group is still well known, despite crossing over on the U.S. scene roughly two years ago. Still, the power and brevity of the band's most recent LP You're Nothing on a jump to Matador makes Iceage leading the other bands almost unquestionable. The Copenhagen band, led by workaholic at-heart Elias [...]

An awsome take on Morals originally heard on the album You're Nothing .
This is what we need. This is what we need more of. This is exactly the kind of music we need played extremely loudly into the ears of everyone under 25 because this kind of music saves people from a lifetime of middle-of-the-road musical choices and post-modern ironic lapses in judgment. This is emotionally honest punk rock without the "cloying sense of self righteousness" element; this music both is and sounds vital. Make no mistake: The last band to even come close to this level of straightforward streamlined honest punk was Ikara Colt back in 2003 ... and [...]
Dan Curwin As much as I'd like to be able to claim to have seen Charli XCX's latent stardom from the get-go, a quick look back at my writeup from SXSW 2012 confirms that I was not, in fact, overly impressed with the set I caught, but this also acknowledges that performing in a stripped-down setting accompanied only by a keyboardist isn't really putting an electro-pop artist's best foot forward. She came across much better five months later at Osheaga , kicking off the festival with a good balance of energy, songs, and [...]
A great rendition of "Morals" by Iceage , recorded in Copenhagen on January 19, 2013. "Morals" is off of You're Nothing , out now on Matador .
Kansas City's third annual Middle of the Map festival took place last weekend in Westport. In addition to photographs, we shot video of quite a few bands. We'll be rolling out some local acts tomorrow, but in the meantime, check out video of Danish punks Iceage doing "Ecstasy," from their new album, You're Nothing , above and Nashville garage rockers Pujol below, performing "Mission From God," from United States of Being .
Iceage + Zeitgeist + Gotobeds + Nic Lawless 6119 Penn / 04.12.2013 / Doors 9:00 / $8 Words by Brendan At the ripe old age of ... ahem, 20 ... Iceage are already making some seriously choppy waves in the indie rock world. Four young punks from Copenhagen, Denmark they are, and their latest LP, You're Nothing , came out on Matador Records in February. They're making their second stop in Pittsburgh (having played The [...]
Danish punk, post-punk, and noise rock act Iceage releases a session performance of one of my favorite tracks from their latest album, You're Nothing . Morals" is one of the most ballad-like tracks on the album, and it's the beautiful piano chords and steady march of the beat that help make it so. This session performance of the track is both fierce and passionate, and brings a little more intensity than the album version, I think. Check a review of You're Nothing below:
Copenhagen punks Iceage play Empty Bottle Wednesday. And, believe it or not, tickets are still available (as of Tuesday). You have something better to do? Really? Also check out the band's excellent new album, You're Nothing . Coalition - Iceage
Vår (Elias Rønnenfelt de Iceage) anuncia su disco debut, escucha el primer sencillo "The World Fell" La disparidad de texturas entre Iceage y Vår (antes conocido como War ) - las dos bandas con las que Elias Rønnenfelt está asociado - es bastante amplia. El multifacético músico debutará con el disco No One Dances Quite Like My Brothers , el 14 de mayo vía Sacred Bones . De acuerdo con un comunicado de prensa, el primer disco de Vår explora [...]
Iceage offshoot VÅR (formerly known as War ) will drop their full-length debut, No One Dances Quite Like My Brothers , on May 14th via Sacred Bones. According to a press release, the album explores "themes of love, loss, vanity, hope, fear, sexuality and friendship, drawing more on literary influences than musical ones" to "soundtrack music for a play that has only begun to be imagined and is light years away from being consummated." To stir up interest, the Copenhagen outfit has unleashed its first single, "The World Fell", a hypnotic digital pulse of electronic [...]
