1) IKON is an Australian goth/darkwave band that has gained an international following. Chris McCarter(vocals, guitar, programming) and Dino Molinaro (bass) began to create music as high school students in Melbourne, Australia in 1988. In 1991, their band Death in the Dark, which included Michael Carrodus on vocals, changed its name to IKON.
IKON has released five studio albums, five EPs and seventeen singles, with additional unique versions that have been produced for Germany, America and Russia. The band’s last full-length release, Destroying the World to Save It, attained number 21 on the Native DJ World Charts for best album of 2005.
IKON has frequently toured Australia, Europe and the UK. IKON has played on the same bill as The Sisters of Mercy, H.I.M., Soft Cell, Death in June, London After Midnight and The Mission. IKON has performed at the Eurorock Festival (2001) in Belgium and at the M’era Luna Festival (2002) in Hildesheim, Germany before an audience of more than 15,000 people. The band has also appeared three times at the world’s largest goth festival, Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig, Germany, in 2003, 2005 (during that year Anthony Cornish joined the live line-up on guitar) and 2011.
In 2007, the band embarked upon ‘The Burden of History’ tour of Europe to mark the release of the singles collection (1992-2007) of the same name. The EPs League of Nations (2007) and Amongst the Runes (2008) demonstrate a progression in IKON’s signature sound, providing a taster of the forthcoming album Love, Hate and Sorrow (to be released in September 2009). While retaining the essence of influences such as Joy Division, early New Order and Death in June, the future for IKON promises to add further texture to the band’s style. Love, Hate and Sorrow embraces more melodic song structures without entirely relinquishing the shadowy threads that are interweaved in the lyrics, art work, and music of one of the world’s most successful and enduring darkwave bands. The single "A Line on a Dark Day" from the album will also be made into the band's first video clip.

2) A UK collaborative project of Elliot Ireland and Alex Rizzo, the people behind the Jalapeno label. They utilise a wide range of guest vocalists and instrumentalists to create an interesting fusion of dnb, jazz, downtempo and triphop. They have released a self-titled album and at least 2 singles, 'The Dove' and 'Tricolour'. The album took a long time to make and was created in 7 different countries with 8 different collaborations, in languages such as Portuguese and English.
From the Jalapeno Records Website on Ikon:
"As for the Ikon sound it's tricky to categorise: bossa nova melodies seem to seep effortlessly into epic cinematic productions, which mutate into slick drum and bass rhythms."
"Musically the group cites most genres as being influential to the Ikon sound, particularly jazz, funk, soul and hip hop."
"What the hell is Ikon about? "Happy coincidences," opines co-founding member Alex Rizzo with a smile."
"Ikon is about producing lush, imaginative music and recreating sounds in an original way. Give us a keyboard a string, synth or computer- Rolf Harris's stylophone and we'll play it- the quirkier the better. If there's a sound we wanna emulate we'll try and get the original materials: like a 60s bass and a 60s mic to get the right effect."

내가 개천에서 났다니
우뚝 선 내 뿔이 폼나지
새로운 종족, 사슬의 정점
우리는 용, 용, 용
빛나는 공기, 상상 속 분위기 yeah, yeah
흥건한 티셔츠, 언제나 summer, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
죽지 못해 죽여주지 (hai-ya)
Check me out, I'm on dat fire
어떠한 공간도 날 담을 수 없어
No, no, no (no, no, no)
묵직한 발걸음, 힘찬 내 날갯짓
코끼리 bass line 위에 난 surf해
패거린 모두 다 dope해
거인들, 거인들 행차해, 헹가래
어딜 가든지 다들 아는 척해 we fly (fly, fly)
하늘을 나는 나는 용가리
누구도 상상조차 못 했지 (ooh-eh-oh)
내가 개천에서 났다니 (ooh-eh-oh)
우뚝 선 내 뿔이 폼나지
새로운 종족, 사슬의 정점
우리는 용, 용, 용 (brrah)
Let's go
Watch out lil boy
상상 못 했지
Watch out lil boy

Slowly walking through fire

핏줄에 흐르는 화염

인간이 대체 뭘 할 수 있겠냐고 내게
괜히 힘 빼지 말고 back off
Let's go
상상 그 이상, 상상도 못 할, 폼나는 뿔 폼내지
어디에 갖다 놔도 살아나가 나는 하늘을 나는 코끼리
할렐루야 feels great to be me
너무 많은 악역 속에 기가 막힌 아이디어
범접 불가한 불가사의 되자고
불 피지기 boy, you don't know me
누구도 상상조차 못 했지 (ooh-eh-oh)
내가 개천에서 났다니 (ooh-eh-oh)

The lyrics of "DRAGON" by iKON convey a sense of empowerment and confidence. The opening lines express the singer's astonishment at their own abilities, claiming to have been born from the heavens and standing tall like a formidable horned creature. They declare themselves as a new breed, reaching the pinnacle of strength and dominance. The lyrics continue to emphasize their uniqueness and superiority, with references to shining air and a positive atmosphere, reinforcing a feeling of self-assurance and satisfaction.
The chorus reinforces this theme of invincibility, declaring that they cannot be contained by any space or trapped by any circumstances. It states that they cannot be killed, but instead, they have the power to vanquish others. The verse showcases their powerful stride and confident gestures, overlaying them on an elephant-like bassline. They refer to themselves as giants, marching confidently, while others pretend to know their destination as they soar through the sky like a dragon.
The bridge shifts the focus to a warning for those who underestimate them. The lyrics suggest that others would struggle to imagine the extent of their power, and they should be cautious and afraid. The repetition of the phrase "Watch out lil boy" serves as a reminder that underestimating their abilities would be a mistake.
Overall, "DRAGON" is a song that exudes confidence, asserting the singer's belief in their own power and uniqueness. It serves as an anthem about their invincibility and warns others not to underestimate them.
