Icaruss invited on to BBC Radio Devon
Wednesday 13th August 2008

Icaruss will be performing acoustically on Radio one with an interview on the Richard Green Show on Thursday 14th August between 2 - 3pm. Will be one to record!!!

formed in November 2007 and although wet behind the ears, this baby has teeth! The result of four experienced musicians all resolved to a common goal. To bring high standard prog to Plymouth and beyond! For all those out there who like to push their musicianship to the limits, this is the band to come and watch. But it's not all about wow factor and lighting speed... Striking melodies and transporting ambience will tickle your ears a plenty.
