The Ice Cold Killers - Long Island Punk with an Attitude

Photo Credit: Paul Travers

What defines punk music? Songs less than 3 minutes, because if you can’t get your point across in this amount of time then it’s not worth saying. Loud fast aggressive guitars, because if heads aren’t bobbing fast enough to cause neurological damage then what’s the point. Us against the world attitude, because what do they know?

Long Island punk band The Iced Cold Killers check off all the punk boxes with their latest album Stories From the Grave released on August 27, 2021. Everything about the band and album exudes punk. This is even reflected in the band’s bio on their website. “We are The Ice Cold Killers…We Slay Rock N Roll”. No need for a massive history lesson on the band.

It would go against the spirit of punk to write some drawn out, long ass review. Therefore, I will keep it short and to the point with a little attitude thrown in.

After listening to the album and sending the Apple Music link to a friend, the following text chain ensued.

Scott: If you like punk, then check out this album.

Friend: I like it!!

Scott: It kicks ass. Bobbing my head so fast I may have to go to the chiropractor on Monday.

Friend: Haha…it is really good!!

End of story. Review over. Just stream or buy the f*ucking album. Point made in less than one minute….BTW. Check out their video too.
