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."

On the Trail of Tears
Ikon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You will cry no more
The sadness you are feeling
You won't feel any more
You are not to blame
For the trail of tears
The journey begins now
A new moon is with us
To shed light where darkness falls
His time had ended
He will return soon
Reasons for this madness
Beyond both you and I
The truth it comes so slowly
It ends all too soon
How could you have known
That he'd give it all away
So what have we done
To choose your fate
How do you feel
When your dreams come tumbling down
Do you feel responsible
Do you take the blame
In this final hour
He gave it all away
To look beyond the reasons
There is a sense of hope
I know what you're feeling
The pain he put you through
But the time has come
To forget the past
And lay to rest
All the bitter memories
There is a reason
It's beyond you and I
There is a reason
Beyond your trail of tears
The song "On the Trail of Tears" by Ikon is a song about moving on from tragedy and finding hope after experiencing loss. The lyrics address several themes such as grief, responsibility, hope, and the unexplainable reasons for tragic events. The first verse talks about finding relief from sadness and tears, while acknowledging that the tragedy and blame are not the individual's fault, but rather a result of the "trail of tears". The second verse speaks about the death of a friend and the pain that comes from the loss. The lyrics also suggest that it is difficult to comprehend the reasons behind the tragedy because the truth comes too slowly.
The chorus questions the responsibility and blame of the individual for their fate, and asks how they feel when their dreams fall apart. The third verse reminds the individual that there is hope in moving on and that it is time to forget the past and lay to rest all the negative memories. The song concludes by stating that there is a reason beyond the individual for the tragedy, and that it is important to move on and find hope.
Overall, "On the Trail of Tears" by Ikon is a poignant reminder that despite the difficulties and tragedies we may face in life, moving on and finding hope is possible.

To let go of what has already happened
And lay to rest
To put an end to
All the bitter memories
All the painful experiences
There is a reason
There is a bigger purpose at work
It's beyond you and I
It's something we can't fully comprehend
Beyond your trail of tears
Beyond the cause of your sorrow
