[16 August] 'DRIFTWOOD' SINGLE AND 'TORN APART' VIDEO CLIP
After the success of our first video clip, IKON has recently filmed a second video clip for the song 'Torn Apart'. Director Jason Chave, who created the 'A Line on a Dark Day' video, set up an amazing venue and concept: a post-apocalyptic Western bar, complete with gunslingers, bounty hunters and ladies of ill-repute (oh, and IKON as a seedy musical duo at the piano). It looked amazing on the day, and we're grateful to Jason, Kate Fox and the amazing people who toiled as extras, caterers, and make-up artists on the two horribly early mornings on which the video was shot.

Due to the time it will take to produce the finished version of the clip, we've changed the release schedule for singles, and the next single from Love, Hate and Sorrow will now be 'Driftwood'. Check out the cover image to the left, and stay tuned for a sales announcement soon (along with special overseas tour news). |

[28 February 2010] FAREWELL TO ANTHONY CORNISH, IKON GUITARIST
IKON would like to thank
Anthony Cornish, who has been a dedicated part of the band for the past four years on guitar. He is no longer available to perform with IKON due to personal commitments. Anthony has contributed to our shows across numerous tours of Europe and at home in Australia, and will continue to assist us in the future. We are very grateful for all of his efforts.
IKON is currently working on developing the band's profile and creating different forms of promotion, such as our upcoming video single. In one form or another, we will play live in the coming years.

'A LINE ON A DARK DAY' SHOWN ON RAGE AND IKON SUPPORTS HIM IN MELBOURNE
We're very pleased that 'A Line on a Dark Day' was shown on Australia's national music video clip show, Rage,
on Friday 19 February. If you look at the playlist, you'll also see Finland's HIM a little further down the list. This is a fitting coincidence because IKON has been asked to support HIM at their show tomorrow night, on the 25th of February in Melbourne at the Hi-Fi Bar. Tickets for the gig are sold out, and we look forward to playing to a new audience in Australia.
The show will see the return of drums to the live line-up, with David Burns stepping in to resume his role on the kit. Clifford Ennis, who you'll remember from the Destroying the World to Save It -era of IKON, will take up the guitar for this special performance, which promises to be a blistering set.

ALBUM REVIEWS AND WHERE TO BUY IT ONLINE
There are so many reviews of Love, Hate and Sorrow online that we've decided to create a page just for our press. You'll find reviews in English, German, Dutch and Spanish. Once we've got copies of print reviews, we'll add scans of these to this page.
If you'd like to buy a download of the album rather than a physical copy it's available via iTunes in the USA through Vendetta Music.
If you're in the USA and would like a physical copy, Vendetta will release the album on 28 January and you'll find it in selected alternative record stores soon after.
