Test-Icicles - Live on Music: Response
Current kings of noise and soundclash the Test-Icicles made their Music: Response debut and spoke to Ian Camfield about prog-rock, their new sound effetcs guy and lasting for two weeks. Hear live in session and interviewed right here.
Rory Aggwelt, Sam Merrann and Devonte Hynez are three restlessly inventive young men, with varying musical backgrounds in hardcore, metal, hardcore metal, and hip-hop.
The band began in 2004, almost as a mistake. Rory and Sam spent time hanging out, inventing bands and playing shows on the strength of an afternoon’s songwriting.
Recently signed to Domino, Test Icicles have become renowned for their chaotic onstage performances. Speaking to Ian Camfield they confess to planning to last for two weeks, their love of Yes and They Might Be Giants and a new member who specialises in sound effects.

[Dial-Up]

Heavily distorted vocals do battle with frantic beats and a whole multitude of effects and this storming track.
Test-Icicles ‘Our Lips Are Sealed’
[Dial-Up]
[Broadband]
Like organised chaos this track evolves about five times in its duration and comes to suitably explosive ending.
