Icepick Revival was formed somewhere around 1995-96 by Ryan Pankratz and Brett Judice in the good old swamps of Lafayette, Louisiana. They were quickly graced with the technical guitar prowess of one Stephen Sheppert, and so the gnarcore began... 5 or 6 years go by, a couple of releases, one on the short lived, New Orleans based,"8013 Records" run by Bret Davis of Spickle, two other tracks on the Berserker Records compilation "South Of Hell" that also featured Dove, Rwake, HawgJaw, Leechmilk, and some other greats... then they hooked up with At A Loss Recordings through the fine gentlemen of Meatjack. The Daniloski brothers delivered a demo to the heads at At A Loss and shortly there-after a 3 song monument to pshychedelic technicality was birthed. then they got all sour-faced and kicked the proverbial bucket. pretty much right as the 3 song monster "Distress Signal" dropped... bastards.
the CD is still available through Itunes and through Stickfigure Distribution. you should definitly add it to your collection if you like your heavyness on the frantic-strange side of life. Get it here:
