Ice

Some bands conquered the charts, others ruled the clubs—but Ice? They were too busy becoming legends without leaving their studio. Born from Sussex University's creative cauldron in 1967, this mysterious outfit turned their complete lack of live appearances into pure mystique, armed with Hammond organ wizardry and arrangements sophisticated enough to make jazz cats weep with envy. With just two official singles to their name—the pop perfection of "Anniversary (Of Love)" and the mind-bending "Ice Man"—they carved a unique niche in British rock history by proving that sometimes less really is more. Their third single "Walk On The Water" was apparently so steamy that Radio One demanded they cool it down to "Walk Under Water" just to get airplay, because even censors have their limits. Though Ice melted away by 1968 (with members later surfacing in Affinity, Sailor, and even pioneering MIDI technology), their legend only crystallized over time. Think Like A Key Music's 2025 release Whisper Her Name finally brings together their complete recordings and radio session mysteries—proof that sometimes the bands you can't see leave the most lasting impression on your ears.
