Artist Biography
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 (DEVMETAL), 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; Attwell is a member of several other bands including Lock Horns and Dogger.
