[UPDATE: STILWELL SHOW POSTPONED BUT COMING]
Icarus Phoenix released their second album on Sep 10th 2021. Leaving the more somber, slow and sad elements for a heavier rock sound. The band is comprised of Nick Dorsey, Will Pasternak, Ryan Scott, and Drew Danburry, featuring Jed Jones and Josaleigh Pollett. Incorporating elements of shoegaze, paisley underground and the classic indie movement. It is both modern and retro, simple and complex, gentle and heavy.
Formed in Missoula, Montana. Nick, Ryan, Will and Drew spent months preparing for the three day 28 song recording session with Jed Jones at June Audio in Provo, Utah. When Drew was forced to move out of state because of the modern housing exodus, the band, true to it's name was re-formed with new members learning the parts.
Drew Danburry has independently toured and released records since 2002. He's released over 400 songs on over 20 albums/13 EPs and played 800 + shows worldwide. Including 2 Daytrotter sessions, 3 invitations to Pop Montreal one to Pygmalion Music Festival and a whole bunch of other impressive things that you should totally be impressed by.
The first single was released June 4th. Enjoy the most recent music videos:
