Iceage ‎– New Brigade

In these times were anything you want is available with one click of a button it is easy to forget the feeling of discovering something really genuine. Obscure bands of yesterday are merely posts on a blog today. Well my friends I have found that feeling again with this album. Denmark's own Iceage took music by storm in early 2010 with New Brigade. All the post punk refrences have been made so I will spare you the details. What I will say is when this album made its way to the USA it was like a second comming. Kids today weren't around to discover bands like Joy division, Disco Zombies, or Buzzcocks in their prime, we unfortunatly had to read stories and piece it together with reissue after reissue never knowing the feeling of hearing something genuinely new. One spin of New Brigade makes these complaints erelavant. This album is exciting, dangerous and most important it is new. The overall atmosphere of the record is something youth driven rock and roll has been missing since the early 80s. This is rock and roll. This is the youth and a damn fine album. I know I'm not alone when I say I feel lucky to be around for this band in its prime
