notes

"The Intensive Care Unit" is a 5 - piece hard-charging rock band based near the Maryland/Pennsylvania border. The core group of musicians has been together for almost 5 years with Juan Mackey joining the group in Jan. 2001. Since that time the band has been moving forward at an accelerated pace leading to the creation of the band's debut CD "Desert of Darkness."

Juan Mackey sings lead vocals on all tracks with the exception of "Desert of Darkness" w/ Bill Jones singing the lead. Sizzling guitar leads are provided by Scott Kuster on all tracks except tracks 2 & 4 which feature Bill Jones on slide guitar. This CD was a true labor of love. CHECK IT OUT!

    author: Barry ( the musician )

    There had been a lot of talk about a band called ICU in this area of Pottsville Pa. I wanted to come down and check them out for myself to see what the buzz was all about. After seeing you guys open up for Skid Row, I can see why the hell everyone was so excited about you. I'm holding nothing back. By far, I will say it again to make sure that everyone will read it right, So far, I have never seen a band the was as tight as you guys are, nor have I heard such beautiful sounds come from any band in this area. Keep in mind, I play in a band and we are pretty good, so to speak, But you guys made me feel as though I need to go back and start all over again. I will give credit where credit is due. Southren Pa has a group of guy called ICU, that are better the any thing I've heard in a long time. The word is out. In my honest opinion and take this for what is worth, You guys should have never opened for Skid Row, Skid Row Should have opened for you. Thats how good I think you guys are. Please find your way back to the Pottsville area very soon. keep up the great work. You Rock ! ! ! ! !

I was really entertained by your band, it MY great pleasure to meet you. Hope to see your all again soon when you play the PA area. How about Hershey stadium !!!!!

  • I was very surprise
    author: Wendy (Sunshine)

    I had been there all day at Mountain Springs. As the day went on, I was begaining to get very disappointed. I said to myself I just wasted 18 dollars of my money to come to see some sh$ty bands, until you guys came on to play. I had seen you guys earlier walking around with icu on the back of your shirts and did'nt know what it meant. So I asked this black guy that I saw talking to you guys, what did icu you stand for and he told me the intensive care unit, not knowing that until after you guys had played that he was your lead singer. It took me by surprise. I hope you wont get offended by this, But I have never heard a black guy sound so white. What a great singer. You wont remember me, but I will never forget you guys. What a show and what talent that you have in your band. My son still has the shirt your singer signed for him, He said to me that he will never wash it. Sorry to ramble on, but to sum it all in a nut shell, You guys made my whole day. Good luck to you, and PLEASE come back this way again soon. Sunshine :-)

    author: janet

    As luck would have it, I checked out this group at a club in Baltimore, MD. They are as good as you can get with out studio help. They played a song Simple Love Song, to be own their 2nd cd. It has radio potential !!!!! I give this band 4 stars, because I want them to become a 5 STAR BAND. Keep it up guys!! Record co. people pay attention to this band.....

  • What a band !!!!!!!!!!!!
    author: Karen

    You guys rock. I saw you at the Houe of Rock in Baltimore, What a band, What nice people you are. I had a chance to talk to some of you and you guys are down to earth. More in the fact of your lead singer. What a pleasent person to talk to. I've talked to alot of different band members. Never have I had someone make me feel that I was part of there success. That does'nt happen these day. For that I give you guys a BIG THANKS. When is your new cd coming out? What a FANTASTIC SONG, Simple Love song. It should be on all the airways right now. The first cd is good, but if the songs on the next cd sounds as good as the new one that you are playing now, Wow, What a cd that will be. Cant wait to hear more songs from the upcoming cd. Good luck guys, I'm a new fan of The Intensive Care Unit. You Rock ! ! ! ! ! ! !

  • Holy Sh%t Batman ! ! ! !

    ok, you see the button that says BUY THIS CD ? well go on and click it...this cd is BEAST TO THE MAX, and you wont be disappointed.

  • I think the music is great
    author: Shane

    I have been out to see this guys before and I've listen to their cd. Great music. It has a spice of 80's guitar rifs and a 2000 type sound. I'm wondering what the record business is thinking about. Some one will find these guys and take them to a higher level. This is the kind of music we need. Straight from the soul and from the heart. Great job guys and may the greatest of luck be with you.

  • WOW !!!!!!!
    author: michelle
