Boa Vs Python
Definition: To test an icicle. Primitive men used to test icicles to ensure their sturdiness prior to using them as a stabbing weapon. (source: theurbandictionary.com)
Test Icicle sound like everything, all at once, with little left out. With divergent backgrounds in hardcore, metal, hardcore metal, and hip-hop there is no compromise, no faffing, just a swampy mass of influences frothing and bubbling until it sounds nothing like its composite parts.The band began in 2004, almost as a mistake and in no time have made a large impression within the ever growing London Dumb Funk scene. Support slots for The Unicorns, Year Future and, most recently, a UK tour with Death From Above have given these young art-core spaz metal freaks some well earned recognition.
Boa Vs Python is a three-minute lesson in frantic power chords, deranged shouting, the ever-popular four-to-the-floor beats and hammer-horror organ grinding.
In the world of neo-new wave bands drawing on nostalgia, this is a release that adds a leveled balance of fashion vs integrity. Recently signing with Franz Ferdinand's label Domino Records, Test Icicle release their debut 7" Boa Vs Python this month.
