Anyone remember the band Icon?

[IHateRap]

I used to love this.....kind of still do

Sounds a lot like Eat The Rich from Krokus that came out a year earlier.

The whole album..

 

[Beyond Black]

Their first album was a killer! Never heard the latter albums.

 

[Marshall Law]

They were on the Cusp of big time success and the singer found religion and quit.

As an 11 year old at the time I was disappointed with their second album.

Almost opened for them 10 yrs ago, but it fell through and Krokus never made it over here. I always like the tone on Headhunter...nice aggressive boosted Marshall....

They lost their edge with that album. Some decent moments I guess but it definitely didn't hit me like the first one.

Seems familiar, but not sure, thanks for sharing, good stuff.

 

[longfxukxnhair]

I grew up with them......local boys from AZ. Originally named Schoolboys. 1st album was good, the 2nd one.....not so much. Stephens vocals combined with Dans riffs were solid.

 

[errrrrl]

Yup, I had this mix tape from a friend and it had World War and On Your Feet on it. Always wondered what happened to them.

 

[Purpleibby]

YES, love the band. Night Of The Crime actually my fav. of the 1st two records. LOVE Night of The Crime, probably one of my favs. ever actually.

HOLY S&^& WHY????

Agreed, it's my fav. album from them. That tune is wow for sure!!! Cannot get enough of that album! First album is good, but Night Of the Crime is just killer(the feelz and atmosphere, Melodic Metal meets AOR sound on there is AWESOME), a masterpiece IMO!

 

[zz666]

Night Of The Crime is an all time classic for me, love it.

Fucking religion sucks balls. At least if you worship Star Wars you get to see a movie.

The guitar players were pretty good. And it sounded like they used a bit of EQ for that mid spike, kinda like Ronnie Lee Tekro.

Indeed..and when I first heard TNT, I thought they copied Icon's tone...

Still love their first album! Solid tunes front-to-back, never get tired of it. Got it on vinyl right after it came out back in the day in a Sam Goody mall record store in Harrisburg, PA. As soon as I heard "Under My Gun" blasting on the store's stereo, I knew I had to own whatever it was I was hearing.

I liked their other albums OK, but I wasn't a huge fan of their new singer and their music just seemed a little bit too watered down. Didn't know that about the original singer, always wondered what happened. Always assumed it was the corporate suits forcing them into a more radio-friendly direction.
