claire ingram: guitar and vocals

guitar-god credentials: navigating her bandmates' anarchic backbeat, Ingram hammers out angular chiming melodies and razor edged hooks that hit the listner like ice cubes on an exposed nerve. She embodies this english crew's fusion of art rock's poise and punk rock's sputter'n' pummel.
setup: though her sonic palette is broad, her choice of gear isn't: Ingram runs her Fender Venus through a Turbo Rat pedal and a Vox-AC 30 amp (best known as the choice of the "other" British Invasion). While she uses a Tokai for backup, she's devoted to her Venus: "It's really cheap, but it does the job" she says.
trade secrets: Given Ikara's emphasis on rhythm, "We need a guitar that really cuts through," Ingram says. "I quite like a really trebly [sound], but really big and full as well." She describes her playing style as "very sharp, but quite chaotic at the same time." No surprise the, that as a teen, she worshipped Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore. "I wanted to make loads of noise" she says.

dominic young: drums

how did you get started? i saw '60s show Ready Steady Go when The Who performed 'anyway, anyhow, anywhere'. Keith Moon played the drums with such undiluted passion mirrored with such spiritual depth, I was awakened to the possibilities of the instrument. The art of drumming can express a range of experiences and emotions, be they sophisticated or primitive
describe your playing: intense assault, instilled with discipline and feel. You could say it was dumb but not stupid
biggesst influences: keith moon, phil rudd, stephen morris (joy division), scott asheton (stooges), john bonham and mitch mitchell. i also have a passionate admiration for virtuoso jazz drummers
greatest ambition: to inspire some kid to pick up the drums and wipe me out
drumming advice: there will always be better drummers than you, there will always be worse drummers than you - just make sure theyre not you...
