如果你还记得青春那款混乱、焦虑与躁动,Iceage歪斜粗犷的吉他庞克噪音,或许会彷彿沾满泥泞的失速装甲车,轰然粗暴地撞进你的世界。Iceage浑身散发原始的不安定感、狂躁尖锐的野性,某种程度来说,其实一点都不讨喜。然而,这四个来自丹麦哥本哈根年仅17、18岁的小鬼所谱写的旋律,总蕴含着无法複製的青春焦躁,歇斯底里的吉他声响,机枪扫射般的高速鼓点,以及隆隆巨响间俯拾即是荒芜破败感,让每个音符都像原子弹般在你脑内爆破。听他们的歌,会有浑身紧绷的躁鬱感,好像青春期的无解迷惘,让人肾上腺狂飙,想要横冲直撞、放肆鬼叫,也让演唱会上Iceage团员与观众头破血流却乐不思蜀的画面屡见不鲜。《New Brigade》是由12首平均长度不超过2分钟短小精悍曲目组装而成的重装武器,是直接了当的发洩式情绪侵略,〈White Rune〉山雨欲来的幽暗暴戾氛围,〈New Brigade〉狂暴速度感,〈Remember〉属于绝望底层的颓废浪漫,〈Eyes〉极具杀伤力的勐烈冲撞,还有〈Broken Bone〉断垣残骸间的沸腾热血,Iceage可能让你想起Wire、Joy Division早期抑郁低迷的崩坏感,哥德式的黑暗危险气质,甚至近年后庞克复兴的痛快节奏,但其中最迷人的,却是那似乎永无止尽的能量与破坏力。在这个连摇滚乐都讲求安全第一的时代,这头性情乖戾的北欧勐兽,没有矫饰的直接连续重击,或许会让逐渐澹忘青春面貌与庞克原初精神的你,在跟着Iceage失控狂舞到汗流浃背之际,同时感动得痛哭流涕!
Danish punk group Iceage formed in 2008 when the bandmembers averaged 17 years in age. Influenced by early hardcore and no wave, and with a sloppy, anarchic style of playing not too far removed from West Coast indie/punk bands like No Age and Abe Vigoda, the band’s short and raw debut, New Brigade, was released in 2011 on What’s Your Rupture in the U.S. and on Tambourhinoceros in Europe.
