The Icarus Line
Penance Soiree
(V2)
If you’ve ever wondered how to snarl properly, look no further than The Icarus Line’s Penance Soiree. After cutting their teeth with a handful of EPs, Penance Soiree marks Icarus Line’s first full-length release. Their relentless hardcore sound is what you would get if you took Marilyn Manson, The White Stripes and The Strokes, tossed them in a blender and flipped the switch. For personal snarl lessons, check out the Icarus Line alongside Brody Dalle and the Distillers all summer long.
