Album Notes

IRONHEAD was born of tragedy.

The band was formed in 2003 in Virginia, less than 2 years after Johnny Sikk's(who recently changed his name from Johnny Sonic after being hospitalized in Seattle)
father died in a motorcycle accident. The name is not only a tribute to his father but also to his death. It's no suprise that this power trio plays what they like to refer to as
DEATH ROCK by combing 70's punk, 80's hard rock and enough goth and grim to rot a fresh corpse.

The band cites many influences including The Dead Boys, Alice Cooper, Motley Crue,Killing Joke, Motorhead, The Sisters Of Mercy and Iggy & The Stooges just to name some.
But Ironhead are no mere cock rockers. They eat, drink and shit rock n roll. These guys and girl live in whatever dark alley they can park their van for the night so they can tour the country, wreak havoc with like-minded freaks and suck the blood out of all the generic bands that are taking up space. Ironhead's debut release, Livin' Like We Wanna Die
released on Dead City Records, finds lead man Sikk screaming about suicide and fist fights. The cover shows bassist, Angela Foxx, slashing her wrists as she hovers over a
healthy serving of cocaine. The album is 13 songs of total debauchery.

The album recently received critical aclaim in the Sept. issue of Classic Rock Magazine, who called the album "jagged, slashing, venomous motorsleaze lurking down the same dark alley as The Dead Boys, Motorhead, The Plasmatics and G.G. Allin". Ironhead has spent the past two years touring in the USA, without any support from a major record label, but this hasn't seemed to slow them down. They haven't just toured here in the states, they have toured in Europe twice in their short existance. They have recently decided to take a much needed break from the road to work on new material. They are relocating to Austin, TX to record their second full length cd that will be released sometime in 2007.
