Iceage are back!

Completely overshadowing some or other news announcement from a man named David this morning, Iceage have announced a vast array of tour dates accross the UK and Europe. As well as this, they are also streaming a new track, 'Coalition', from their forthcoming album 'You're Nothing', which I will be reviewing for Lineofbestfit.com soon and which, judging by the songs they played when I saw them in Brighton in November, is going to show a very pleasing progression from the Danes. 'Coalition', certainly, is ace, or life-affirming, or fierce, or something like that.

Take that Mr Bowie!

Listen to 'Coalition' here.
