  Var Inspired by Stripping Wanderer, Dark Fairytale on First Album

  May 9, 2013 – It's tempting to view Vår as nothing more than a castoff side project. It almost seems as if Elias Bender Rønnenfelt and Loke Rahbek (of Iceage and Sexdrome, respectively) meant for it to be that way. …

  Hear Var's 'The World Fell,' Industrial Techno From Iceage's Singer

  April 10, 2013 – As evidenced by their thrilling new album You're Nothing, the Danish dudes in Iceage are hardcore punk classicists, which makes them the last band you'd expect to spawn a techno-addled side project. But it turns out singer-guitarist Elias Rønnenfelt has a separate quartet called Vår that trades in four-on-the-floor beats — tempered, of course, by blasts of industrial noise and super dark thematic content. …

  Watch Iceage's Solemn In-Studio Performance of 'Morals'

  April 10, 2013 – Iceage are a band that prefers dark corners and dank clubs, but they step into the spotlight for a live performance of "Morals," from their 2013 sophomore album You're Nothing, at a studio in Copenhagen. The track is a somber one ("If I could leave my body / Then I would / Bleed into a lake"), and it's even heavier here with the mournful pianos given more room in the mix and an aching look on the face of singer Elias Bender Rønnenfelt. …

  Iceage, 'You're Nothing' (Matador)

  February 19, 2013 – Oh, Iceage. You are classicists perhaps by accident, and that is awesome.One of the great pleasures of being a serious pop-music fan is basking in the warm glow of the Excellent Second Album (That Amplifies and Enhances Things Awesome About the First). The Stooges' Funhouse turned the trash-can fire of their debut into a towering inferno. …

  Watch Iceage Relieve Pressure in 'Ecstasy' Video

  January 24, 2013 – The boys of Iceage are about to break, but that's how we prefer 'em. In "Ecstasy," the latest taste from their February 19 Matador debut You're Nothing, singer-guitarist Elias Ronnenfeldt practically gasps, "Pressure! Pressure! Oh God no, pressure! Can't take this pressure." He sounds fantastically winded and weather-beaten while his Danish cohorts dirge on with a clanging whirlwind of nasty blackened punk. …

  Iceage Preview Matador Debut With Sexually Conflicted Slayer 'Coalition'

  January 8, 2013 – If Iceage's 2011 debut New Brigade, our choice for #23 album of that year, was, as we (admittedly) put it, a "call to arms," the answer has been loud, varied, and intense. The Danish youths' martial barks and post-punk chill find their most obvious successors in Swedish band Holograms, whose secretly twee twist on scabrous propulsion led to one of SPIN's 40 Best Songs of last year. …

  Iceage Sign to Matador for New Album

  November 16, 2012 – After thrashing us to blissful bits last year with their debut New Brigade — a "jagged, visceral .... 12-song, 24-minute call to arms" says SPIN's Marc Hogan — Copenhagen punk revisionists Iceage have signed to the venerable Matador Records, and are sending a second album our way February 19. …
