Ice, Sea, Dead People are three child-men from London who are sick and tired of rock music that isn't. Inspired by art-rock and punk luminaries such as Fugazi, Liars, Erase Errata, Black Eyes, et al, the trio are more than content to punch through the ceiling of their peers to achieve an even more liberal approach to their explosive sound formed from sharp riffery, rhythmic foreplay and peaking with esoteric vocals. Everything is distorted, most of it is screamed and all of it is energetic.

PRESS:
"Awesome." Zane Lowe - BBC Radio One
"One of the loudest new bands I've seen in a long while... Properly forthright, in-your-face rock music." Steve Lamacq - BBC 6 Music ('6 Music Unsigned Band of the Week')
"Sawtooth plosives of guitars strung like catapults and screams at exactly the right frequency to be heard by humans." Plan B Magazine (RIP)
"Angular feist-punk doesn't get more brutal or enthralling than this" NME
"Fingerpainting with the rock formula!" The Fly
"The future's bright as far as blazing angular art-punk is concerned. Their debut single 'Hence Elvis' (Dirty Records) is an electrifying 1000mph blast. They sound like an angry mob but assure us they are also intent on good-timing too. An Unmissable debut." Art Rocker
"ISDP's songs are angular, dirty and like a grenade in a mirror shop exploding in slow motion; they give a sexy torrent of power like a river of energy." Bearded
"A rampant, hard-hitting profusion of smashing guitars and basslines that sound as aggressive as their spitting vocals." Gigwise.com
"Fast, intense and violent... They sound as good as all of the splendid influences they list. Really." William Ravenscroft - Unpredictable Porridge
"Noisy, rhythmic art-punk with a nod to Erase Errata and Pre" Time Out (London)
