Icon for Hire, the newest band out of Tooth & Nail Records, is releasing its debut album “Scripted” on Aug. 23, but you can preview the band’s debut single, “Make a Move,” which is available on iTunes.
The single is infectious rock with a hit of pop from this female-fronted band with explosive, in-your-face riffs and lyrics.
“There’s a tension really between heavy rock and pop, but never at the expense where it would overshadow the rock side,” said lead singer Ariel in a release. “The pop part is like the sprinkles on top of a cake, but the actual cake is rich, dark and heavy.”
Love the sprinkles and chocolate cake reference.
The band is out of Decatur, Ill., and has toured the Midwest since 2007. Keep an eye out to see if this band makes its way West. They are known for taking time out to meet with fans.
“We’re not the kind of people who want to hang out in the green room all day,” Ariel said. “We get out there to talk to our fans for hours before and after the show and we try to infuse a hopeful element in what we do and say.”
