Ice Age Signs To Think Fast! Records

Think Fast! Records has signed New York hardcore act Ice Age. Think Fast! co-owner Ryan O’Connor comments on his history with the band:

“Jeff and I first met in 2005 when our bands bumped into each other on the road. We’ve remained friends ever since, and I’ve always been impressed with Jeff’s musical talent. It was an easy decision to sign Ice Age and their debut album blew me away.”   Jeff adds: “I had actually spoken with Ryan about putting out the record about a year ago, but we were in two different places at the time so we went ahead and recorded the album and found a local label to put it out. Just as we were about to go to mastering that label ran into to some financial trouble and things kind of fell apart. About a week later Ryan happened to call me about some printing stuff and we ended up talking about doing the record with Think Fast!. It was pretty serendipitous, but we really couldn’t be happier. It’s been extremely easy to work with those guys and I’d be hard pressed to think of a more solid hardcore label.”

Their upcoming album, Dead Kings, is scheduled for a late summer release, with the official street date being announced in the coming weeks. The album will be released on LP and digital formats, with no plans for a CD version, although a digital download coupon will be included with the vinyl version.
