Hardcore metal posers. An explosion of smart badges. Live sets that
nearly sever a band member’s big toe: welcome to the genre-muching
mega-racket of the Test Icicles.
The first single Boa Vs Python / Dancing On Pegs is an uncompromising
kick in the ipods from three metal loving kids (Sam, 19, Dev, 19 and
Rory, 25). Fired up with a love of not only rock and metal but the
machine beats of hip hop and grime and decked out like the last gang of
rock & roll surrealists in town, Rory Atwell, Sam Mehran and Devonte
Hynes have tooled themselves up with an utterly individual mix of heart
attack metal riffs, programmed beats and vocals screamed out like the
bastard brat of the Beastie Boys and Pantera.
