Red And Black Attack was the second release from the Hollywood-based rock band The Icarus Line.The EP was recorded and released very quickly after their debut 7-inch, Highlypuncturingnoisetestingyourabilitytohate on Hellcat Records.The EP was released on New American Dream.This was the band's first release to appear on CD, as well as New American Dream's debut release.The vinyl version was pressed by Slowgun Records on clear "wine" colored vinyl 7-inches.New American Dream also released the band's split 7-inch picture disc with Ink & Dagger, and had actually originally signed Ink & Dagger to release their third, and final album on the label.However, after a car crash involving the label's owner and members of Ink & Dagger, who were on their way to visit The Icarus Line during a rehearsal, the label soon fell apart.The resulting fiasco was the prime reason The Icarus Line didn't record their debut album in 1999, as originally intended, and ended up signing instead with Crank!Records.Coincidentally, Ink & Dagger, who had also signed to the label for the release of their third and last album, ended up having Buddyhead release it instead.Other bands on the short-lived label included Discount (band) and Kind Of Like Spitting.The label's folding, resulted in this release being out of print for many years, and a highly sought after collectable.The EP was named as a reference to the band's visual style, which involved dressing in black with red neckties.This look was abandoned years later, after a number of other bands had started dressing similarly.Some of these bands went on to much greater mainstream success.So, as not to look like the "copycats" themselves, this attire was then "retired" by The Icarus Line.This release also coincided with yet another of the band's recurring problems of finding a suitable, and permanent drummer.This is why there is no drummer pictured on the cover of this release, something which confused people for quite some time.At the time of the EP's release, John Guerra (F-Minus, Black Fag) was filling the position.Soon after, the band recruited their fourth drummer, Mike Felix(Toys That Kill, Ex-Fork).As an homage to their former band's drummer, Tim Childs, The Icarus Line included snippets he had recorded while playing drums at home, very briefly before his death.These were the last known recordings of Tim playing drums.The song "Separate The Sounds", was also quite obviously written about Tim, and his abrupt passing.These home recordings were spliced together during mastering by Blag Dahlia, the singer of The Dwarves.

Jubilee was an Indie rock band from Hollywood, California.The band was started in late 2007 by Aaron North( Nine Inch Nails, The Icarus Line) who is the chief songwriter, and singer in the band.He plays guitar as well.Also on guitar, is Tony Bevilacqua( Spinnerette, The Distillers).Jenni Tarma( Kylie Minogue, Har Mar Superstar) plays bass, and Troy" Boy" Petrey( The Icarus Line, Willowbrook) plays drums.According to an early press release, Jubilee's sound is" something like The Replacements, The Stone Roses, Neil Young, Blur, Jane's Addiction, Bob Dylan, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and The Verve, all sliced ‘n diced together quite nicely."Jubilee's output consists of two limited release singles via North's Buddyhead Records.They released the “ Rebel Hiss ” single on January 21, 2008 on 7- inch vinyl, CD, and a limited edition" tour- version" 7- inch.Their second single," In With The Out Crowd", was released in Fall 2008 on 7- inch, and CD.The band has stated a general dislike for both releases, as well as constant frustration stemming from people assuming that both releases are E.P.'s, instead of," A bunch of songs that just simply are n't as good as the ones chosen for the album.They're throwaways."There are no plans of re-pressing either release once the remaining copies are sold.The CD version of" In With The Out Crowd" has already sold out, and the 7- inch versions of both releases are said to have as well.Other estimates point to a couple dozen still being available on the band's web- store.The estrangement between Aaron and Buddyhead, which both releases are on, would only solidify the notion that the band would prefer that these releases were unavailable.Jubilee's next release reportedly consists of a number of stark and somber recordings, all of which were captured live in North's home.These sessions took place over the course of 2009, a year in which the band was suspiciously absent from any type of public activity.Various rumors concerning Jubilee throughout 2009, some of which have even been admitted to and confirmed by certain band members as being," Very, very dark times.Awful, actually."Their subsequently solemn, and casual approach to these recordings, and the resulting sound, has also been described by band members as a conscious effort to get the absolute furthest away that they could from how their album was created.Almost all of the music for these sessions is performed on acoustic guitars, and absent of both drums and bass guitar.Finishing with more material than they'd intended, an E.P., entitled" After The Crash", ultimately seemed the better answer instead of just another" single".Oddly though," After The Crash" will only be made available to those who subscribed to the" Jubilee Digital Music Service".The 7- inch vinyl E.P. will be released through a new label North has started, White/ Grey/ Black.This will be the label's first release, and it will be mailed directly to the subscribers.Their packages, along with the record, will also contain directions for accessing MP3, WAV and FLAC digital formats of the E.P. as well, via Topspin.Subscribers will also receive even more exclusive songs on top of those on the 7- inch.These tracks will only be available in digital formats though, also through Topspin.These bonus tracks were excluded from the 7- inch, due to the limited space available on records of that size.

Answer: no
