Icon For Hire

Icon For Hire is an American rock band that formed in 2007 in Decatur, Illinois. The group was founded by vocalist Ariel Bloomer and guitarist Shawn Jump. Known for their dynamic fusion of alternative rock and electronic elements, they quickly garnered attention with powerful lyrics that tackle personal and social issues, often focusing on themes of self-empowerment and mental health awareness. Ariel's candid lyrics and energetic stage presence combined with Shawn's inventive guitar work give the band a distinctive edge in the modern rock landscape.

Following their self-titled EP in 2008, Icon For Hire signed to Tooth & Nail Records and released their debut album, "Scripted," in 2011, which set the tone for their compelling approach to music and their ability to blend genres. Their subsequent albums, including "You Can't Kill Us" (2016) and "Amorphous" (2021), saw the band increasingly take control of their creative process, embracing an independent path and directly engaging with a dedicated fanbase through crowdfunding. The releases such as "The Reckoning," "Ready For Combat," and the extended edition of "Amorphous," showcase the band's growth and versatility, with acoustic versions like "Last One Standing (Acoustic)" and "Seeds (Acoustic)" revealing a stripped-back sensitivity that counters their usual intensity. Icon For Hire continues to chart a bold course in the music industry, resonating with fans through their authenticity and relentless drive.
