Icarus Falls is a Rock band from Brighton who secured a slot at this year's Ramblin’ Man Fair on the strength of an EP entitled ‘Venom’. Described as "where Black Stone Cherry meets Alice In Chains", the five-piece are in the enviable position of having ready made access to a fully fitted recording studio cum rehearsal space in a garage belonging to the father of lead guitarist Harvey Wigg, who also uses it to fix engines in his day time job as a mechanic. Garage Rock, indeed. Currently recording new songs and in the process of setting up a single for release in early 2019, the band are also now in the somewhat less enviable position of being inundated with messages from fans of former One Direction heartthrob and now solo star Zayn Malik, who has just announcedthat his next album (out on Friday 14th December) will be entitled….yep, you’ve guessed it….'Icarus Falls’. With Harvey, Doug Hay - vocals, Lawrence Trousdale-Smith - rhythm guitar, Jon Morrison - bass and Josh Harris - drums, all amused by the prospect of Zayn’s army of teen followers checking out their band’s blend of Classic, Southern, Grunge and Modern Rock and having their minds blown, check out today's Track Of The Day.

"The stage is almost completely cleared for the headline act leaving maximum room for everyone to move around. The hospital intro starts rolling for 'Anarchy X', and the crowd cheers as the opening notes of 'Revolution Calling' fill the room. I've got to say that all the way through the sound was good with the vocals coming over very clearly. And that's the point here, we have come mainly to hear the vocals. Tate was amazing 30 years ago and age seems to have done little to reduce his mazing vocal range. Yes, of course there are concessions, but he still delivers a totally compelling performance."

""Thank you so much" Dan greeted the applause of a now full house. In fact, as he again went to his back catalogue and introduced the "real Blues" of 'Taking Chances' from 'Dear Silence Thieves', it was so pleasing to see such a young demographic in the Academy crowd tonight, Patlansky appropriately grimacing as he knocked out another stand out solo on his amazing new "Partsocaster", yes you've guessed it, made up of various parts of various Stratocasters, but still a beast of a guitar that replaced his treasured but knackered '62 Strat. Talking about parts, as Dan asked everyone to put their hands together, no Patlansky gig would be complete without Gatza's keys on 'Introvertigo's 'Heartbeat' - cue Tom's awesome stand up solo with even rockin' accompaniment from the gathered paparazzi in the pit!"
