The Vapors' fourth album Wasp In A Jar (release date: February 28, 2025 via Vapors Own Records)Album single "Hit The Ground Running" will be released on January 17With 2025 kicking off the next chapter for The Vapors, the band are looking at a full plate of activity. “2025 is shaping up into a very busy year for us,” says Danny. “We have the album out on February 28th accompanied by a tour of UK grassroots venues in March. Then we have some UK shows with Big Country in April and May and then we are returning to the US for the Lost '80s tour with A Flock of Seagulls, Big Country, Josie Cotton, Icicle Works, Belouis Some and many others.”  Built around classic punk riffage with a chorus that opens up and toys with expectation, opening track “Hit The Ground Running” retains the breakneck rhythms that fans know and love from their previous releases. With nary a moment to catch a breath, The Vapors follow it up with “The Human Race” which Danny describes as a kind of “ballad of The Vapors.” “Carry On,” a statement about the current climate (“When the government needs to know / That's when the government needs to go”), weaves around shimmering arpeggiated chords and Dave Fenton's haunting vocal lines (“Carry on / As if nothing happened / Carry on / Like we did before”) before evolving into an epic and soaring outro that begs for an audience singalong.  “They all have significance to us in their own different ways. ‘The Human Race' is about the band, ‘Look Away Now' is about Dave dealing with his Parkinson's Disease and ‘Miss You Girl' is about children wanting to move out of the family home. The Vapors is Dave Fenton (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Steve Smith (bass), Michael Bowes (drums), Danny Fenton (guitar). Wasp In A Jar will be released on February 28, 2025 via Vapors Own Records and was recorded and produced by Michael Giblin (The Split Squad) at Mechanicsburg, PA and mastered by Greg Reierson at Rare Form Mastering.The band, formed in 1979 45-year historyThe band parted company late in 1981, with all members going on to have varied and successful careers across the entertainment industry.In 2016, after a decade of Internet clamour for a revival, they announced their reformation for a short series of gigs, including a sell-out show at London's Dingwalls.

The Icicle Works (also known as Icicle Works in the United States are an English alternative rock band, named after the 1960 short story "The Day the Icicle Works Closed" by science fiction author Frederik Pohl. They had a top 20 UK hit with "Love Is a Wonderful Colour" (1983). In the US and Canada, they had one top 40 hit, the 1984 single "Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream)". Consisting of singer/guitarist/keyboardist/songwriter Ian McNabb, drummer Chris Sharrock, and bassist Chris Layhe, the band released four albums from 1984 to 1988. The original band broke up in 1989, but McNabb has continued to perform under the Icicle Works name with various replacement members; this revised Icicle Works line-up still plays sporadic live dates After having been a solo act for 15 years, in 2006 McNabb reactivated The Icicle Works name for a series of six UK concerts in October of that year. This version of the band consisted of McNabb, former 'second-generation' Icicle Works bassist Roy Corkill, and two new members: keyboard player Richard Naiff and ex-Dodgy drummer Mathew Priest, both of McNabb's long-time solo touring band. Original drummer Chris Sharrock had been invited to play with the revived group, but declined to participate. That same year, the Icicle Works' self-titled debut album was reissued as both a 2-CD and limited edition 3-CD set, each featuring a wealth of bonus tracks and radio sessions. The Icicle Works appeared at GuilFest 2007 and played a nine-date UK tour in December 2007. McNabb and company played two free shows as 'The Icicle Works' in Liverpool in January 2008. Later in 2008, a compilation of unreleased early Icicle Works tracks and demos called Lost Icicles, Volume 1 was issued as a digital-only release. Lost Icicles, Volume 2, a recording of a live show from 1984, was issued as a digital-only release around the same time. McNabb continued to play gigs as a solo artist throughout 2009 and 2010. In 2009, the band's fifth album Permanent Damage was reissued in a 2-CD set with bonus tracks. Over the next two years, the band's three remaining studio albums were reissued in deluxe 2-CD and 3-CD sets, all featuring numerous bonus tracks. After a three-year hiatus from performing, the McNabb/Corkhill/Naiff/Priest line-up played a series of 30th Anniversary gigs as The Icicle Works in 2011. In an unrelated event, on 11 August of that year, original Icicle Works member Chris Layhe joined Ian McNabb onstage at a McNabb solo gig. The duo performed 3 Icicle Works songs and one cover song by The Clash. It was the first time McNabb and Layhe had performed together in 23 years. While McNabb continues to perform, record and release new material as a solo artist, The Icicle Works typically continue to play a handful of UK shows every year or two.

We discuss the very political "The Day the Icicle Works Closed" by Frederick Pohl, and also why science fiction stories often don't stand the test of time.  More at sciencefictionuniversity.com.  Support the show

AMIMALSK INDHOLD Nej, det er ikke skøre videoer med 'klaverspillende' katte og hunde. Til gengæld er der biologi og musik i Sejrstimen og dagens lektion handler om dyreriget. Sange hvor mange forskellige dyrearter er en del af titlen selvom emnet sjældent er dyrene selv men snarere en symbolik for menneskelig adfærd eller tilstand. Ja, vi er virkelig højt hævet over dem selvom meget biologi deles og vores hjerne siges stadig at være på krybdyrstadiet. Men trods meget værre end dyrene på en del områder har vi heldigvis også formået at skabe og værdsætte kunst og skønhed. Der beviser endnu en liste af navne: Genesis, The Cure, Abba, Beatles, Split Enz, The Triffids, Kate Bush, Muse, Crash Test Dummies, Jane Siberry, Saga, The Tubes, Sparks, The Icicle Works, Shriekback, XTC og Sebastian, Gangway + Jens Unmack.

“Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential 90s musicians and where they are today. On this podcast, we'll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in the book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring. On this episode, we talk to British singer-songwriter Ian McNabb. He may be best known in the States for his 1983 hit song, “Whisper to a Scream (Birds Fly)” with his band the Icicle Works – but he's had a wildly prolific career in music since – from playing with Neil Young and Ringo Starr to recording over 20 solo albums, including 2021's “Utopian.” He's got a deep catalog that's worth checking out. Today, Ian tells us about a couple of pivotal moments in his life, from the moon to birds flying.Musical credits: The Dustbin by Blue Dot Sessions Palms Down by Blue Dot Sessions Tour dates and more about Ian McNabb can be found here.

Nick Kilroe decided to take up the drums at an early age, having seen his Dad with a pair of drumsticks, tapping away in his taxi cab. He had lessons from the age of 11, and learnt his trade in the pubs and clubs around Liverpool. He played with The Black Velvets, who released their debut album in 2005 and toured worldwide until 2007. Nick then joined Echo & The Bunnymen in 2007, fulfilling worldwide touring, television and recording commitments with the band for the next ten years. He's also worked with various other artists including Miles Kane, The Icicle Works, Ian McNabb and Poltergeist, to name but a few. To this very day, you can occasionally still find Nick Kilroe drumming in his Dad's cab.

The only thing we can say is WOW. Being the go-to 10cc live drummer for just short of 50 years has been a surprisingly small part of Paul Burgess's drumming career. This is a journeyman and a half, taking in the likes of Invisible Girls, Jethro Tull, Camel, Magna Carta, The Hee Bee Gee Bees, The Christians, Icicle Works, Gloria Gaynor, Alvin Stardust, Engelbert Humperdink, Joan Armatrading, Gilbert O'Sullivan, The Blockheads, The Helicasters and dozens more. He's rubbed shoulders with members of many bands: Strawbs, Fairport, Wings and many other Folk, Rock, Pop and Prog luminaries. He also talks us through the later 10cc albums he *didn't* play on, and his much later reunion with Graham for 10cc mk 4. Been round the block, this lad!  And many thanks to Henry for laying his hands on that fabulous session tape.

Hello and welcome to the 64th episode with the return of DJ Chappers.This week's show is all about the music of Rockfield Studios, which is a recording studio just outside the village of Rockfield, Monmouthshire, Wales. so I'm going to be talking about the history of Rockfield, why it is so special and which massive artists recorded there.In 1963 brothers Kingsley and Charles Ward converted an existing farmhouse into a recording studio by investing in an 8-track tape deck and sound proofed it. Then in 1965, they became the world's first residential studio, set up so that bands could come and stay in the peaceful rural surroundings to record. They have two studios, which are both set up for digital and analogue recordings.The show is going to be very studded to say the least so you can expect to hear some cracking tracks from the likes of Ace, Queen, The Cult, The Icicle Works, Oasis and Coldplay. So please enjoy your journey back through the history of music!

As great as the Icicle Works were, they will forever be remembered for one perfect moment, the still gorgeous "Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream)". After that one hit in the States (and a few more in the UK), the band called it quits in the 90s and lead singer Ian McNabb has been going strong ever since. He's been on an especially epic hot streak the last few years with several exceptional albums in a row, capped off with his latest, Utopian. Ian discusses very openly the history of Icicle Works, how "Birds Fly" even came to be, working with Neil Young's band Crazy Horse, and how he manages his independent solo career. Ian is funny and honest, the two best qualities in a guest, making this one of the best episodes of the year!  www.ianmcnabb.com www.patreon.com/thehustlepod

Mercury-nominated and The Icicle Works frontman, Ian McNabb has done it all.  The band's 1984 debut album, The Icicle Works, brought them Top 40 chart success in both the UK and US, and Ian has also maintained a highly prolific solo career working with Waterboys, Ringo Starr, Crazy Horse, Peter Buck, Lightning Seeds, and Jason Falkner amongst others. Speaking from his home in Liverpool Ian is delightful company as we discuss long musical career and whether he's describing a song from 35 years ago, or his latest releases Utopian and Ascending, Ian is equally happy to talk about it all.

The Randomizer spat out “Prodigy” (Season 3, Episode 13), a true gem of an episode of SVU which took Adam and Josh on quite the journey. Michael Pitt playing an apparent future serial killer and doing it spectacularly? Check. Continuing disparagement of van owners that cuts Adam to the bone? Check. Add the brainmelting first appearance of Mike Doyle as Not O’Halloran, staging victims in weird sexual poses so the perp can write about it for his prison masturbating buddies, the hazards of huffing Pam, and problematic content for days, and you’ve got the recipe for a truly special journey through the twisted darkness of the Dickwolf Universe.

the second part of a series focussed on the 2nd British Invasion. I originally said that this was a 2 part series but do to the sheer volume of UK artists during this time we will have to make this a 3 part series. The Second British Invasion consisted of music acts from the United Kingdom that became popular in the United States during the early-to-mid 1980s primarily due to the cable music channel MTV The term derives from the similar British Invasion of the U.S. in the 1960s. Bands Include: Thomas Dolby, Human League, Talk Talk, The Jam, Haircut 100, Simple Minds, ABC, Big Country, Culture Club, Tears For Fears, The Fixx, Echo and the Bunnymen, Eurythmics, Blancmange, Icicle Works, New Order, Thompson Twins, Soft Cell, and the Psychedelic Furs.

Brad and Al of the Director's Club finish things off as hosts with The Final Chapter of the Bergman 101, where we look at all of the efforts of Ingmar Bergman that made it to a movie screen. Even considering his earlier landmark films, Bergman's scope is wider here than ever: touching on theater, television, the opera, and even Hollywood (in "The Touch"), from period piece noirs abroad to documentaries of his island home, and an epic named "Fanny & Alexander" that just may encompass them all. Long live directors and the clubs to talk about them! [3:08] "The Passion of Anna" ("Anna (Go to Him)", Arthur Alexander) [14:27] "Fårö Document" ("Angel Island", The Brothers Brothers) [22:37] "The Touch" ("Sax Time", the 'Preparation for the Affair' Theme from "The Touch") [38:28] "Cries and Whispers" ("Whisper to a Scream", Icicle Works) [52:56] "Scenes from a Marriage" ("We Got Married", Paul McCartney) [1:16:29] "The Magic Flute" ("Queen of the Night Aria", W.A. Mozart) [1:31:42] "Face to Face" ("Face to Face", Low Pop Suicide) [1:48:49] "The Serpent's Egg" ("Snakes", The Pixies) [2:03:02] "Autumn Sonata" ("Does Your Mother Know", ABBA) [2:19:20] "Fårö Document 1979" ("Island", Badfinger) [2:25:08] "From the Life of the Marionettes" ("World on a String", Neil Young) [2:33:23] "Fanny and Alexander" ("Symphony No. 4 In D Minor", Schumann) [3:10:20] "After the Rehearsal" ("I Was Meant for the Stage", The Decemberists) [3:16:40] "Saraband" ("Grow Old with Me", John Lennon) Outro: It was usually Rufus Thomas' "Let My Baby Ride" (played as the "L'Enteracte" in Leos Carax's amazing film "Holy Motors"), but here it's a song called "There's a Last Time For Everything", by the Division of Laura Lee.

The Wild Swans special with Paul Simpson in conversation The Wild Swans formed in 1980 when Paul Simpson, who had left The Teardrop Explodes after the recording of their first single, teamed up (on vocals) with Jeremy Kelly (guitar), Ged Quinn(keyboards), James Weston (bass) and Justin Stavely (drums). An opportunity arose when Pete de Freitas of Echo & the Bunnymen (an old friend and flatmate of Simpson's) agreed to fund their first single "The Revolutionary Spirit" (1982, Zoo Records). Stavely had dropped out of the band, so De Freitas ended up financier, drummer and producer for the single;  he was credited under his middle names, Louis Vincent. The single spent 9 weeks on the UK Independent Chart, peaking at no. 13. Despite turning out to be Zoo's last ever release, the single received a measure of critical acclaim and in time, developed cult status. Subsequent to the release of "The Revolutionary Spirit", weekly rehearsals were given a degree of urgency when the band was offered a BBC Radio 1 John Peel session. Songs on this session, all written by the team of Simpson, Quinn and Kelly, include "No Bleeding", "Enchanted" and "Thirst". By this point, the band was rounded out by two new members: Baz Hughes (bass) and Joe McKechnie (drums). The Wild Swans were sporadically active in the early 1980s; touring with Echo and The Bunnymen in 1981 following a residency with The Teardrop Explodes. A David Jensen session came in spring 1982, with the band penning and performing "The Iron Bed", "Flowers Of England" and "Now You're Perfect". The group split very soon after this BBC Radio 1 session was broadcast. Post-split: Care and The Lotus Eaters (1982–1985) Once the band split, Kelly and Quinn started up The Lotus Eaters with co-founder Peter Coyle. Simpson followed suit with the duo Care, teaming up with Ian Broudie. Strangely, Arista Records, who had refused to sign The Wild Swans, then snapped up both of the offshoots. Both groups issued several singles. The Lotus Eaters scoring a chart hit, and releasing an album in 1984. Care, meanwhile, reached number 48 in the UK charts with the single "Flaming Sword". Both bands had broken up by 1985, with Care having recorded an unreleased album. Revival: The Wild Swans, Mark II (1986–1990) In 1986, the session recorded for the Radio 1 John Peel Show, was finally released on Strange Fruit Records, containing the tracks "No Bleeding", "Enchanted", and "Thirst". It repeated the single's success, peaking at no. 13 on the independent chart. Shortly thereafter, Simpson, Kelly and Quinn got together and began playing once again as The Wild Swans. By 1988, Quinn had dropped out, Simpson and Kelly were joined on bass by Joe Fearon, and a long-awaited debut album finally emerged. Titled Bringing Home The Ashes(1988, Sire/Reprise Records), and featuring session players on keyboards and drums, it was produced by Paul Hardiman and yielded two singles, "Young Manhood" and "Bible Dreams". Simpson is nowadays disparaging of the sound developed on the album and feels that some of the aura and magic surrounding the (Mark I) Wild Swans had been lost. "Major label thinking is like a virus, you forget why you started the band and fall into the 'hit' record mind-set". He went on to offer even more stark words of wisdom for those thinking of setting up a band: "Major labels suck the poetry from your bones and fill the gaps with a cement made from cocaine and crushed teenagers." Bringing Home The Ashes was issued in the United States initially, followed by UK and German releases. A near-simultaneous promo-only release called Music and Talk From Liverpool included Wild Swans tracks interspersed with interviews with Jeremy Kelly. A second album on Sire, Space Flower, was released in 1990, subsequent to the departure of Kelly. It was produced by Ian Broudie, and featured a line-up of Paul Simpson (vocals, mellotron, effects), Joe Fearon (bass), Ian Broudie (guitars, keyboards), Chris Sharrock (drums) and Ian McNabb (additional guitars, vocals).[12][10] Sharrock and McNabb were both of the Liverpool three piece The Icicle Works.[12] Much of the material written for the album had a food-flavoured theme, depicted by the tracks "Melting Blue Delicious", "Tangerine Temple", "Chocolate Bubble-Gum" and "Vanilla Melange". The album was released in the US, Germany and Japan, but not initially in the UK. The Wild Swans split up again shortly after Space Flower and Simpson went on to form his own project 'Skyray', recording several singles, EPs and albums, and the spoken word project Dream Diaries.

May 1984 — Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble — “Couldn’t Stand the Weather” Many consider Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble to have single-handedly revived the blues in the 1980's. This second album contains both covers and original songs from Vaughan, instumentals, jazz, and of course blues. Couldn't Stand the Weather has a timeless quality to it even 35 years later. And did we mention the strength of Stevie Ray Vaughan's guitar chops? There's not a bad track on this ablum from one of the guitar world's greatest players who was lost before his time. We hope you enjoy this trip back to the 80's! “Scuttle Buttin” This instrumental track opens the album and showcases the phenomenal guitar virtuosity of Stevie Ray Vaughan. “Couldn't Stand the Weather” Here is the title track, and a fast-paced boogie-blues number. Stevie Ray Vaughan wrote this song, and about half the tracks on the album. Jimmy Vaughan is on rhythm guitar on this track. “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” This is a great juxtaposition of two world-class guitarists. Jimi Hendrix did this song originally, and Stevie Ray Vaughan's style is amazing on this track. “Cold Shot” We finish off this album feature with a straight up blues number originally written by Michael Kindred & WC Clark. Don't let our love go bad! ENTERTAINMENT TRACK: “If You Were Here” off the soundtrack from “16 Candles” by the Thompson Twins If this song doesn’t make you think 1980s, well then...Molly Ringwald finally gets the boy in this John Hughes classic. STAFF PICKS: “Sister Christian” by Night Ranger Rob's piano-driven staff pick was the second single from the album “Midnight Madness.” Drummer Kelly Keagy was inspired to write the song by his sister Christie, and how quickly she had grown up. The title morphed from “Sister Christie” to “Sister Christian.” “Show Me” by The Pretenders Brian riffs on this happy tune fromThe Pretenders’ third album and hit “Learning to Crawl.” Show me the meaning of the word - the word is “love.” “Whisper to a Scream (Birds Fly)” by Icicle Works In an unusual move, Wayne goes New Wave with his staff pick. This angst-filled one-hit wonder takes you back to MTV at its peak. “Too Young to Fall in Love” by Motley Crue Bruce channels perhaps the ultimate hair band — Motley Crue — who truly embraced the sex, drugs, and rock & roll lifestyle. This is the third single off their second album “Shout at the Devil.” LAUGH TRACK / INSTRUMENTAL: “Stang’s Swang” by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble We return to Stevie Ray Vaughan in a jazz selection, the last track off their album.

Ian McNabb in conversation talking about a life in music, The Icicle Works & much much more. The Icicle Works are an English were named after the 1960 short story "The Day the Icicle Works Closed" by science fiction author Frederik Pohl. They had a top 20 UK hit with "Love Is a Wonderful Colour" (1983). In the US and Canada, they had only one top 40 hit, the 1984 single "Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream)". Led by singer/songwriter Ian McNabb, the band released five albums from 1984 to 1990 before breaking up in 1991. McNabb later convened a revised line-up of the band in 2006 to play live shows; this revised Icicle Works line-up still plays sporadic live dates. The band was founded in Liverpool in 1980 when bassist Chris Layhe (who had been in a couple of local rock bands including Elanor and Blind Owl) answered an advertisement for a musical collaborator placed by 20-year-old Ian McNabb. The two got together and started writing. They quickly added drummer Chris Sharrock (who had previously drummed for the Cherry Boys), and began playing live shows as "The Icicle Works". In 1981, the band recorded a six-song independently released cassette entitled Ascending. In 1982, they released the independent single "Nirvana", which made it to No. 15 on the UK's indie charts. The following year, the Icicle Works were signed to the Beggars Banquet label, who issued the single "Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream)" on their subsidiary label Situation Two. Later that year, The Icicle Works released their biggest UK hit, 1983's "Love is a Wonderful Colour", which was a Top 15 single. Their 1984 eponymous debut album followed shortly thereafter, reached number 24 on the UK charts and entered the US top 40. Appearing on the US top 40 singles charts at around the same time (and hitting the Canadian top twenty) was "Whisper to a Scream (Birds Fly)", a retitled and slightly remixed version of the band's Situation Two release of 1983.
