The Icon And The Axe (new songs posted!)

About Me

Benjamin Tubbs and Jamie Glisson have been playing music together since they were five years old. After parting ways in 2004, they decided to re-team in the fall of 2007. What transpired was a catalouge of emotion driven, melancholic songs that represented two convergent lives joining melody with lyric. The music caught the ear of drummer, Nick Irvine, who has played with the likes of Anorexic Beauty Queen, Huela, and The Sidewalk Prophets. He, along with Mike Bilinski on bass, joined the band in early 2008. What has emerged is a sound that conveys the passionate search for truth paired with the melodies of a bygone era.
