Moss Icon - Reflections Of An Old Man

Copied!

Sang the boy with deserted eyes
“Reflection,” he whispered again
“Is the captive possession
A reflection in the same
That my ancestors did name
Found to be likely
To be found as a likey
And never to be found around
Spotted with placid mirrors as his ground
Died in the desert did a brave
Not seven feet from his grandfather’s grave
‘Reflections scared the shit out of me,’ shе gasped
‘But i never ran so fast that my feet couldn’t carry mе,’
She resolved, smiling
Grandpa beamed”

Biography

edit bio

Moss Icon was a groundbreaking band in the mid-late 1980s, known for pioneering a progressive and highly emotive sound that set them apart from the punk-rock scene of the time. Drawing inspiration from the bleak post-punk sound of Joy Division and the raw energy of the Wipers, Moss Icon created music that was both intense and introspective.

Led by frontman Jonathan Vance, the band's lyrics were often sociopolitical in nature, with Vance delivering impassioned performances that bordered on stream-of-consciousness rants. The band's music was characterized by Tonie Joy's innovative arrangements, which added layers of complexity to their sound.

Despite their unique and influential sound, Moss Icon never achieved mainstream success during their time together. In fact, their recordings are scarce, and much of the band's legacy lives on through bootlegged t-shirts and patches. This scarcity has only added to the band's enigmatic and almost mythical status in the years since their disbandment.

Though their time as a band was relatively short-lived, Moss Icon's impact on the music scene has been lasting. Their innovative approach to punk and post-punk music has inspired countless artists in the years since, cementing their place as pioneers in the genre.
