Ikara Colt are a band from London
(guitarist Claire Ingram, vocalist Paul Resende)
that plays retro` rock'n'roll, the fad of the 2000s.
Propelled by the single Sink Venice, the album
Chat And Business (Epitaph, 2002) was no more original than
many garage-rock albums of the 1980s: it just happened to come out at
the right time.
But, compared with the Strokes, they are
angrier, nastier and noisier. Their models are the
Sex Pistols, the
Stooges and
Sonic Youth.
Modern Apprentice (Fantastic Plastic, 2004) pours down another dose
of rock'n'roll numbers
(I'm With Stupid, Automatic, Wanna Be That Way)
but the band has also matured enough to experiment with
arrangement and dynamics (Waste Ground, Modern Feeling).

I londinesi Ikara Colt (Claire Ingram alla chitarra, Paul Resende alla voce) suonano un rock'n'roll dal gusto retr• (la moda di inizio millennio). Spinto dal singolo Sink Venice, l'album Chat And Business (Epitaph, 2002) non Š certo pi— originale di molti dischi garage-rock pubblicati negli anni '80: solo Š uscito al momento giusto.
