KILL, THE ICON!

KILL, THE ICON! are a double-drumming, synth-punk quartet based in London, aiming to blur the boundaries between activism and art. Their debut EP, YOUR ANGER IS RATIONAL, was released on 2nd June 2023 on Blaggers Records. They have received airplay from John Kennedy (Radio X), Frank Skinner (Absolute Radio), Charlie Ashcroft (Amazing Radio) and Michael Bradley (BBC Radio). They have been featured in multiple news outlets for creating the world's first AI-generated protest video, for their single "Deathwish". “This is everything we expect from a real punk band” - Roadie Magazine “They’ll have you heading straight for the mosh pit!” - New Music Social “A fuzzed-up, supercharged thrasher” - Repeat Magazine The London-based band aim to explore the history of protest, activism and anti-fascism through a satirical lens. References to Tarantino and Fincher films serve to create a pop culture universe within which the song's sardonic icons come to life, and ask questions of the listener. The band have played all over the UK, with shows at Bedford Esquires, The Lexington, Shacklewell Arms, Dialled In Festival, Windmill Brixton, The Alt Escape and many others.
