Fuck yeah, Ikara Colt are amazing. I actually bought Chat and Business when it came out, on a whim, and was blown away (a local music store was selling it for, like, $7.99 new). Still addicted to that album. I remember I read somewhere they were similiar to like At the Drive-In, Refused, and stuff like that.. obviously, they aren't, but I guess they have some of the energy of those bands.. I always loved that kinda sound. Ikara Cult are all their own, really, those brilliant cutting one string riffs, and I LOVE the bass playing. THe drummer is one of my favorites, so unhinged and out of control.
Also, all their best songs start with one loud snare hit. *BOOM*
Just an amazing band.
Also, the guitarist's favorite guitarist is (was?) Thurston Moore.
Thinking about it now, I don't think there really are any bands that sound like them... maybe Your Enemies Friends (though they were a bit more complex and keyboard driven).
