This month Nambucca London played host to IC1’s launch of their first official single ‘Levitate’, so HTF went down to check them out.
The NW London 5 piece are signed to Gary Powell (The Libertines) new record label, 25 hour. The track was recorded & produced by Mark Wallis (U2, Travis, The Smiths) and they have even attracted the attention of Alan McGee (Creation Records) so this alone speaks volumes for the boys.
However, Set all the prior accolades aside, the following they have from word of mouth alone is huge. Performing with stage invasions are standard and with fans bellowing their lyrics to rival frontman Dan Coburns vocal range, it’s clear to see the band are set to go far.
Daniel ‘COYS’ Coburn – Vocals
Jesse ‘STRONG’ James – Guitars
John ‘SCHLONG’ Campbell – Guitars
Jacob ‘THE SNAKE’ Osman – Bass
Andy ‘FHM’ Faulkner- Drums

Alan Mcgee (Creation Records/Oasis) – “If you go see a new band go and see IC1s, they’re brilliant & are post-everything. They know the time and year unlike most other new bands, this is 2011″
Mark Beaumont (NME, The Times, The Guardian) – ” A proper, no messing about rock band!”
Pete Donaldson (XFM, Absolute Radio) – “They’re a little bit Libertines, a little bit Ramones – but they’re certainly 100% hundred percent London. ‘Whack Jack’ must surely serve as a stomping, unifying crowd pleaser live. The punk rock chorus comes out of precisely nowhere and is the sort of thing the word ‘tasty’ was invented for”
Sarah Champion (Absolute Radio) -”Love the band name and love the track ‘Not Perfect’. Indie pop rock with attitude; the main hook is particularly infectious”
