About:
Test Icicles were a band from the United Kingdom, primarily influenced by hardcore and dance-punk,
but containing musical elements from a variety of genres. The band was formed in 2004 by Rory Attwell (Raary Deci-hells) and
Sam Merrann (Sam E Danger), and later joined by Devonte Hynez (Dev Metal), who was originally invited to fill in at a performance in Brighton
and afterward became a permanent member of the band.
According to the label, the name Test Icicles is derived not from the word testicles but rather from an alleged
practice of early man of "testing" icicles for strength and fitness for use as weapons. This, however, is extremely debatable — especially
considering the fact that one of the band's original names was Balls.
The three members are additionally extremely musically active outside of Test Icicles, claiming to be variously
involved in over twenty side-projects among them. Hynez and Merran participate in a hair metal–hip hop fusion project, NLS Crew; Aggwelt is
a member of several other bands including Lock Horns and Dogger.
On the 22nd Febuary 2006, it was announced that once the band have finished their April tour of the UK, they will go their separate ways after
it transpired that the Test Icicles were in fact founded for a joke, dared into seeing how far they could get.
Domino were duped into signing them, and they soon realised the joke had gone too far, despite releasing some fantastic singles.

Слушаю группу уже лет 5. несмотря на то что ее больше нету, она занимает почетное место в моем плейлисте, и при покупке нового плеера первым делом заливаю, жаль, небольшое кол-во их творчества себе.
