Thomas Paine: "If there must be trouble let it be in my day, that my child may have peace"
It is iO's opinion that pop music has a responsibility to reflect the world we live in.
Since the collisions invasion of Iraq, it has become increasingly more difficult to ignore the larger issues. War, media coverage , the oil peak,the US's trillion dollar deficits and the relentless search for control over the oil producing countries. It is time to speak up.

Welcome to iO's official Homepage
18//05/06
We are writing new material right now, so we have been somewhat quiet. But you can have a listen to what is to come. This is a tune called Dressed in Black, that we are working on at the moment.

17//05/06

30/11/05
The contracts for the Iraqi oil are still in the unfair making, so there is no way that the US is going to head home right now - so there is still more songs in the making about that business.
Then again - it might be time for a change in subject. Let's see.

As time flies. After the recording session of recent, the band has been vacating.
Nick was in Australia for a month (great country, shame the didn't sign the Kyoto agreement) and now Thomas is of to USA (another non signer) - so the band has been laying low.

And we are only going to record two tracks. Tip us your favorites.

04/08/04
You can listen to the latest draft of"Devil" .It's a song about religion and other fanatics. The leap of faith leaves no room for other beliefs. If others are right, are you then wrong?
Everyone that heard us over the summer might have wondered why the net version was different. It was an old version, that didn't work in the band.
This is for all of you who insisted on hearing "Devil", again - and again. Have fun.

03/08/04
You can have a preview of "Bullet in your eye" from Audio. It's a song about fear and propaganda -inspired by the rhetoric from the Bush administration after 9/11. If the people are in a state of fear, they are willing to go to war. The Bush administration had planned two, and that was even before breakfast.

In March iO will start rehearsing the new material, songs "Bullet in your eyes","City of Hope" and "Miss Liberty" they will be a part of the repertoire. You can follow the early stages of the songs from ioone.net.
