Permanent Damage

The Icicle Works

Driving guitars and soulful baritone vocals. A transition from 80s neo-psychedelia into a more grounded, muscular classic rock sound.

The sound of a great 80s band growing up and getting some dirt under their fingernails.

A gritty, determined energy that masks a deeper sense of romantic and professional weariness.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The propulsive, motorik rhythm and soaring vocal hook that defines the high-speed energy of Motorcycle Rider.
The sprawling seven-minute centerpiece What She Did to My Mind where the band leans into a heavier, psychedelic jam.
The sudden, stripped-back vulnerability of the short acoustic interlude Looks Like Rain.
