Altered Zones

As Odd Future begins to exhaust the press over repetitive cross-promotional stunts (see yesterday's Fuck Father's Day video and today's latest development on the Earl saga), the spotlight shifts towards Danish post-punk quartet Iceage. Between the highly heralded US debut at Stereogum and Sacred Bones' Northside show last week in New York, and the bloody pictures that got press to pay attention in the first place, the band seems fated to provoke a sensational reaction. They also made one of the better punk albums in recent memory, but if you didn't take my word for it a few months back when it was zoned in, you can listen for yourself and stream the band's debut full-length at Spinner. --Ric Leichtung, Altered Zones
