A photo on their Blogspot site shows what Iceage is all about: three guitar strings are left after this performance, and the red splatters prove that someone has played their fingers bloody here. Otherwise, the concerts of the Danes can also become bloody affairs. Punk is lived here just as it was once intended. Loud, hard, raw, and wild. Just like the debut album "New Brigade." Four angry boys who have just reached adulthood are setting out to battle the establishment, the increasingly prevalent musical indifference, the murmur of the world, and the decisive three chords of rock. Or as Pitchfork correctly summarizes: "These four have located a punk-rock sweet spot: mixing the black atmosphere of goth, the wild-limbed whoosh of hardcore, and the clangor of post-punk." It should be added that no compromises are made here. There are no main or secondary contradictions; the whole life is a single contradiction. It is no coincidence that one dropped out of school while the other studies theology. It is no coincidence that the boys want to simultaneously lay America to waste and visit Graceland. It is no coincidence that simple lyrics and straightforward music are still the most effective when hurled with anger, energy, strength, and power into a crowd that then completely loses it. Iceage are young, wild, the future of punk – and of music.
