Sound is…
Acoustic/Pop/Rock

Members are…
Ty (Vocals/Guitar/Piano)
Trey (Vocals/Guitar/Piano)

I've had The Icarus Account added on my profile for quite some time, and decided to check up on them recently. To my surprise, they had rose to 16,748 friends, and will soon have a full length album! Ty and Trey are "The Icarus Account", a band of two. What's especially interesting about them?

They're twins.
(Plus they have some pretty unique band pictures, in my opinion.)

The two Christian brothers reside in Florida. The Icarus Account have been hard at work for their new album- "Mayday", a full length album sure to be chock full of beautiful acoustic delights. But for now, these twenty-year-olds are dealing out their gorgeous acoustic type songs left and right on Myspace. Like clockwork, they are posting a new song every Tuesday until the release of "Mayday". What a countdown, huh?

In particular, "Diamonds and Daisies" caught my attention. Not only the title is appealing- the vocals really blossom into a song acoustic fanatics could only dream about...
"It's you and me versus the world, I know it's crazy
They can't stop you from being my girl
I don't trade Diamonds for Daisies"

So whatcha waiting for? Visit their profile. Be sure to give "Hold On For Dear Life" in addition to "Diamonds for Daisies", a listen.

P.s If you search "The Icarus Account" on Youtube, you just might find some live performances...
