Ice Nine Kills

HQ: Swampscott, MA NOW PLAYING: The Burning THE STORY SO FAR: Ironically, pop-punk forefathers inspired Ice Nine Kills to quit playing pop-punk covers after forming in 2000. "The turning point for us was seeing Goldfinger," says vocalist/guitarist Spencer Charnas. "That performance inspired us to start writing our own music." The result is a mix of arena punk and melodic screamo. "It's not uncommon for us to listen to death metal one minute and The Phantom Of The Opera [soundtrack] the next." WHY YOU SHOULD KNOW 'EM: Their D.I.Y. mentality has already won them fans far from their New England home. Ice Kills Nine's full-length, The Burning, is a consistent Top 10-seller on SmartPunk and they witnessed 6,000 iTunes downloads over a two-month span at the beginning of this year. "We see kids at malls across the country wearing our shirts and [listening to] us on their iPods," says Charnas. "It's an amazing feeling." YOU LIKE?
