Interview : Joe Cardamone of Icarus Line

If you've read this blog at any time in the past, you may be aware that my interviews have developed as I've dipped my toe into these waters. I had an email interview with Jason Quever of Papercuts (and a later one with Jeff Martin of Idaho), then a phone interview with Guillermo Scott Herren of Prefuse 73. Now, to complete the hat-trick, I recently spent sometime in person with Joe Cardamone of LA's rock and roll rebels Icarus Line.

After having review their latest record, Wildlife, at The Line Of Best Fit, I was sent backstage before the band's recent gig at King Tut's in Glasgow to interview singer and producer Cardamone about the new record, and the past/present/future of Icarus Line.

He was a lovely interviewee, and you can read all about it by clicking right here.

Album Review : Icarus Line

One of my favourite albums of the past ten years is Icarus Line's hard-hitting, sleaze-rock opus Penance Soiree. So, when anything is released by Joe Cardamone's band of rock n' roll reprobates, I'm always interested.

Released this week, Wildlife is the band's new record and sees them returning to some kind of form close to their vintage days. As usual, the goods are over at The Line Of Best Fit.
