Or believe these quotes...
"Gareth Icke just exudes talent, a beautiful voice, beautiful songs - and if I may be so bold, a beautiful visage to boot!" - Alex Baker, KERRANG!
"Stunning Indie Pop" - RSW Concerts
"Honest, brave, dashing and witty, with vocals unlike any other" - Danny Wallace, XFM
"His voice is both soothing and plaintive and moves most powerfully when the music falls back into the quietude of simple guitar picking for accompaniment; creating the kind of ambivalent tension reminiscent of a Lord Byron poem or a David Sedaris essay" - Jasmine Anderson, Blogcritics Review
"A Molotoff Cocktail with legs" - My Dad
"A Man Of Many Talents" - Kelly Dalglish
"Like James Blunt, Only Good" - Live & Unsigned
"A cross between Gavin Rossdales teenage fueled angst and Billy Braggs street corner protest" - New York Waste
"If you don't like his music, you'll like him as a man... and if not as a man, at least you'll like his face" - Timothy James Pritchard
Gareth Icke is a singer/songwriter from the Isle of Wight.
He has just released his debut album ‘It gets worse at night’ through Icon Records.
The 10 track album was recorded and produced by Dan Swift (Kasabian, Snow Patrol, Aqualung) and received great reviews upon its release.
The album has just been released on iTunes, Amazon, Play etc in both the USA and Europe.
"his voice is both soothing and plaintive and moves most powerfully when the music falls back into the quietude of simple guitar picking for accompaniment; creating the kind of ambivalent tension reminiscent of a Lord Byron poem or a David Sedaris essay. Even when he's singing about the kind of loneliness that gets worse at night, there's a strange hopefulness in his voice that reassures things will all work out alright in the end." - Jasmine Anderson , Biocritics
“The problem with being a failed musician is that whenever you find yourself listening to pure talent you feel jealous and perhaps a little nauseous as you realise that you’ll never be that good. As a failed musician, when I listen to Gareth Icke, I feel like I’m in the throes of death…..but it’s a happy death.” -Alex Baker, KERRANG!
