Icarus Line

The Icarus Line was an American post-hardcore band from Los Angeles, California, active from 1998 until 2015.
The Icarus Line's roots started 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.
In 1998 The Icarus Line formed with Joe Cardamone on vocals, Aaron North on guitar, Lance Arnao on bass, and Aaron Austin (formerly of Naked Aggression) on drums. Before even playing a single show, the band booked an extensive East Coast tour with Ink & Dagger.

Peel discovered the band via their album, 'Mono' in 2001, where he played several tracks from that LP. Impressed by their songs, he invited the group to so a session later in that year, where they performed four tracks. The band were able to do that session, as they were in their UK to do a two month tour. A second session was also recorded in the summer of 2002, where the band were also in the UK to perform at the Reading Festival. After Peel's death in 2004, it was later found out that he had a copy of their 'Mono' album in his Record Collection: I.
