Manchester based four piece Iodine Sky are made up of Aaron Ward on vocals, Adam Galloway on drums, Marc Dawson on guitar and newest addition Matt Connell on guitar and they play a alternative rock/nu metal with strong audible influences from the likes of Incubus, Sevendust and Deftones. Explosive performers with a friendly intimate edge they are hitting the live music scene hard just three months in to the year already. Hearing about active musicians who go out of their way to better themselves is always a great thing and the fact that I was approached to review just two songs proves that this band just want to get out there and get heard on their way to being successful.
The first time I ever saw this band 'Summer Song' really stuck in my head; when a vocalist can powerfully push through long phrases like in the chorus of this song then it definitely does stick with you. The song starts gently and builds up gradually before powering through the chorus. 'Summer Song' is packed with vocal harmonies particularly in the chorus before the bridge; it is a repetitive and therefore catchy song and is set apart from other tracks by Iodine Sky.
In contrast to Summer Song there is 'So Far Away,' a much heavier track with extremely powerful vocals, double pedal a grinding guitar riffs. This track is no less catchy than the previous however, it is equally as contagious and will be playing in your mind over and over again. Both tracks have truthful, story like lyrics and paint the pictures intended. The band show off their individual skills in all of their tracks making a mixture of music that is different to a lot on the scene today.
