Formed in Melbourne in 1992, Icecream Hands are expert craftsmen with a knack for delivering harmony drenched, classic guitar driven melodic rock. They returned this year with their first new album in thirteen years. No Weapon But Love is a masterclass in power pop creation, with songs that will stay in your head for a long time. For AUSmusic Month, I’ll be looking at some of the excellent releases over the last couple of years with a focus on 2020. Also featuring Sydney’s Sawmill, Melbourne’s Pop Filter and much more.
