Icon For Hire - Amorphous-Icon For Hire
Icon For Hires sound is one that effortlessly blends heavy riffs, elements of electronic production and soaring vocal lines into a powerful & bold sonic explosion. However, at the heart of Icon For Hires music is a message of positivity, self-love and personal empowerment from the painfully relatable and rousing lyrics of Ariel.For Amorphous, the band worked with Grammy Nominated engineer Romesh Dodangoda (known for his previous work producing the last Bring Me The Horizon album as well as acts such as Don Broco, Busted, and Kids in Glass Houses).The album has been completely funded by fans through Kickstarter. This success was achieved thanks to the bands highly dedicated ICON Army fanbase that support them on Patreon and have been there for the band though thick, thin, litigation, addiction and more.Having overcome both personal and professional adversity, Icon For Hire are living proof that you can take control of your lifeand thats perhaps the greatest success anyone can hope to accomplish.

UPCOMING RELEASES
Glitterer - Life Is Not A Lesson-Glitterer
Life Is Not A Lesson is Glitterers secondfull-length album, featuring Ned Russin,bassist/vocalist of seminal hardcore-punkband Title Fight. This time Ned has produced the record himself, notwithstanding some recording and performance helpfrom his twin brother, Ben, and some otherfriends, as well as mixing and mastering byArthur Rizk (Code Orange, Power Trip). Itmay surprise you to hear that, irrespectiveof worldly doom and gloom, the new songsare even catchier and bigger-soundingthan those from his 2019 release, LookingThrough the Shades. With roomier drumsand more electric-guitars-per-square-inchthan ever, Life is Not a Lesson has a wayof evoking an alternate-universe versionof Guided By Voices, one with a hardcore-punk background. Life is Not a Lesson proves to be a rigorous reckoning withthe life of the mind at a time when theresnot much life outside the mind.
