The Icarus Line
The Icarus Line is an American post-hardcore band from Los Angeles, California, United States.
Career
The Icarus Line was formed from a high school rock group Kanker Sores. Tragedy struck the band in 1997, when Tim Childs, drummer and close friend, was killed in a car crash shortly after recording their Pivot EP as Kanker Sores on Recess Records, and also songs for an aborted split 7” with Treadwell. The last show Kanker Sores played together was at the Che Café in San Diego, with Jenny Piccolo and The Locust.
In 1998 The Icarus Line formed with Joe Cardamone on vocals, Lance Arnao on bass, Aaron North on guitar, and Aaron Austin on drums. Almost straight away they toured the East Coast with Ink & Dagger. Their first show ever was in New Jersey at The Melody Bar. For this first tour, they sold their demo tape containing the four Kanker Sores songs initially recorded for the Treadwell split. Soon after this they released their first EP, Highlypuncturingnoisetestingyourabilitytohate on Hellcat records. All these songs were also Kanker Sores songs. 1998 also saw the release of the Red And Black Attack EP on the New American Dream label.

by: The Icarus LineTonight is for you, every night belongs to you tonight. Confidants worldwide.
You were so alive. Collapsed under vice. Collapsed under everything.
Never see you around. Never see you around here. See you around.
You were so fucking alive. Early morning advice calls and those late night hotel walls.
We'll all miss you. We know all of our friends steal secrets in their sleep.
Sometimes we've almost lost our minds. Lost again. Please show me the way out of here.
