Icon Gallery- S/T LP. Finally, the long promised, finally realized Icon Gallery LP by this great Pittsburgh band. The EPs were great, but this full length realizes the vision that Icon Gallery have been working on for years. Total power, but in the form of infecctious guitar leads and vocals that could pass for Pat Benatar fronting a post punk band. I can't thing of another punk band with vocals this distinct and demanding, but strangely I'm a drawn to the guitar instead, just as I was with the singles. Brillant '80s Midwest hardcore riffs that are played with alot of conviction. The songs on this LP are hopelessly catchy, with a burly rock 'n' roll vibe always lurking just beneath the surface. Very much recommended AND PRESSED IN A FANCY GATEFOLD JACKET AND INCLUDES A POSTER AS WELL!!
