In 2002 4 ex-art college students met, got pissed off and wrote a speedy, volatile, spittle-dripping debut album called ‘Chat And Business'. While bands like The Rapture and Interpol shot to fame with their take on post-punk, Ikara Colt were busy being crowned the Kings and Queens of the London toilet-venue circuit.
Aiming to be a cross between Motorhead and Joy Division with a brief Blondie encounter along the way, Ikara Colt are back, bigger and braver than ever with stomping second album ‘Modern Apprentice' – a riotous clash of The Stooges, The Fall and Sonic Youth.
Once described as ‘4 nervous breakdowns waiting to happen' the Colt's brittle post-punk shapes have given way to a harder, heavier, sweatier sound. With their slick, firey vitriol and disorientated, gun-slinging guitars, Ikara Colt scream sex and hard drugs. Make way for their behemoth as it ploughs through the stream-lined mediocre to settle themselves once and for all, as purveyors of the new school. Plus www.killkenada.com |
