http://www.thinkfastrecords.com/img/news/resizer.php?foto=2010-06-07_iceage.promo.jpg&lung=300Ice Age may be a new band, but it's members have helped form some of Long Island's most well known and important hardcore/punk outfits. With only a 4-song demo under their belts, the drive of current and former members of This Is Hell and The Backup Plan has given birth to a new band with the experience of any scene veterans.

The debut album "Dead Kings" promises a varied approach at the hardcore/metal genre, comparable to everyone from hardcore legend's Sick Of It All, to genre-crossing hybrids like Unbroken. Equal parts metallic, equal parts melodic, expect no limitations as "Dead Kings" strives to be anything but ordinary.

Think Fast! co-owner Ryan O'Connor comments on the signing:

"Jeff and I first met in 2005 when our bands bumped into each other on the road. We've remained friends ever since, and I've always been impressed with Jeff's musical talent. It was an easy decision to sign Ice Age and their debut album blew me away."

Jeff adds: "I had actually spoken with Ryan about putting out the record about a year ago, but we were in two different places at the time so we went ahead and recorded the album and found a local label to put it out. Just as we were about to go to mastering that label ran into to some financial trouble and things kind of fell apart. About a week later Ryan happened to call me about some printing stuff and we ended up talking about doing the record with Think Fast!. It was pretty serendipitous, but we really couldn’t be happier. It’s been extremely easy to work with those guys and I’d be hard pressed to think of a more solid hardcore label."

"Dead Kings" is scheduled for release later in the Summer, with the official street date being announced in the coming weeks. The album will be released on LP and digital formats, with no plans for a CD version. A digital download coupon will be included with the vinyl version. You can stream the title track on Ice Age's official MySpace, Think Fast! Records official MySpace, and the Think Fast! Radio (launch by clicking the stereo icon on the top of every page on the TF! website).
