And Now, The Weather!
04/09/2023 Duração: 03minSince forming in the summer of 2020, London’s synth-punk quartet KILL, THE ICON! have spent much of their time in what the band describe as “a state of organized, rational anger.” Bandleader Nishant Joshi views the band as a conduit for the nation’s anger therapy: “There is a sense of helplessness and hopelessness in modern Britain, which seems to only be getting sharper and sharper by the day.
