The band Iceage performs on stage for a live audience. They captivated their fans through their unique music and performance style.

Iceage is a relatively small punk band from Copenhagen formed in 2008 and they’ve recently captured my attention due to their unique sound and eccentric lead singer. They’re known for bringing back true hardcore punk to their music and live performances.

They have 5 albums total, titled “New Brigade,” “You’re Nothing,” “Plowing into the field of love,” “Beyondless,” and “Seek Shelter.” Their band members are Johan Surrballe Wieth, Dan Kjær Nielsen, Elias Bender Rønnenfelt, Jakob Tvilling Pless, and Casper Morilla and are all aged around mid thirties.

To someone new to the band, my song recommendations can be seen below as well as a spotify playlist link.

About the Contributor

Sweet Pea Ratliff, Staff Writer

Sweet Pea Ratliff is a sophomore at East and this will be her first year on The Oracle staff. Ratliff is most excited about the writing aspect and the creative outlet that The Oracle will provide. “I love writing,” Ratliff said. “I’m excited about getting to write reviews, and maybe an opinion piece, and I’m really interested in art so maybe doing an art submission would be neat.” Ratliff’s favorite parts about East include the classes that are offered here, such as Digital Art which is her favorite, and the people here. Outside of school, she loves to listen to music, play video games, and watch Bob’s Burgers with her sister, Poppy. She is one of five kids in her family, along with five cats (Abba, Bones, Baby, Obie, and Stinky) and one dog (Prim). One fun fact about Ratliff is that she used to compete in Roller Derby.
