Daptone’s newest imprint, WICK, has been established to create the kind of records that fans want from a truly rock and roll record label. Using the same recording techniques that have made the likes of Daptone soul legends Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings and Charles Bradley, Daptone’s House Of Soul has been developing a sound as exciting and authentic as anything you’ll hear on the airwaves today.

WICK RECORDS will be a go-to destination for fans of rock and roll and the release schedule will include quality archival releases along with the latest swingin’ combos.

Cold Irons Bound is a Melbourne four-piece who recall the best distorted twang of the past 50 years. Think a mix of Americana (Tom Petty, Black Crowes, The Allman Brothers Band) and classic indie rock (The Replacements, Teenage Fanclub).

Their two albums to date are full of three-part harmonies, twin guitar leads, and tunes that quickly start to follow you around.

Although antipodean to their bootstraps, their tales of broken suburban dreams share a haunted sensibility with those made infamous by acts from the American Midwest and northern UK.

But it ain't all death 'n' taxes.

Cold Irons Bound’s songs are also about wrapping your arms around a friend you haven't seen in way too long.

They’re about getting older, getting over it, and never forgetting why you fell in love with rock'n'roll in the first place.

Playing guitar, singing, writing and recording songs. Guitarist of Icecream Hands and Buff Uncle.
