Artist description ice-nine make music that is minimalist without being overblown and overlong, pop without being vacuous and formulaic, loud and noisy without being masturbatory macho rock, with fat beats without rendering the rest of the music faceless and meaningless.

Music Style weird pop

Artist History There are no grand narrratives; no clear distinction between histories, stories and fairytales. Anything that I can tell you about the murky past of the band ice-nine would be as fictional as it was sordid. Suffice to say we've been around for a while now and still no-one really likes us. It is, perhaps, solely the enduring mystery of this that keeps us going.

Group Members marc, bobby, dan, harriet, will, tom.

Press Reviews I think the Latest (local listings mag) said we were "a jangly slice of indie pop" a couple of years ago but we sound a bit different now...Brighton's Evening Argus said something about "sheet metal squalls of guitars" and "sugar sweet pop" the other day I think.....

Location Brighton, East Sussex - United Kingdom
