Intense and infectious in equal measure, Icon for Hire brings the Paramore sound to the Tooth & Nail set with Scripted, the Decatur, Illinois group's debut album.  Granted, this three-piece is much more than a Paramore clone with all their wit and wordplay, plus lead singer Ariel, who is a mix of powerful and approachable that might very well be the inspiration for the band's tongue-in-cheek name.  Things get layered as Make a Move challenges the punk-pop set to trade both angst and apathy for something positive (Screaming in the dark, while we just play our part / I'll play right along, like I don't what's going on) while Up in Flames goes through a list of reasons Ariel doesn't want to be on-stage, before admitting that she must, if only to combat the dreck.  Christian ideals are the driving force here, but you could look at this as a secular rebellion against the mopey scene bands and still thrill at Icon for Hire's fresh attitude and sense of purpose. - iTunes
