IcePhixia was put together by Izak Smit - Lead guitarist and Jaco Smit - vocalist in 1995. Their music was mostly influenced by the electronic rave scene. The band later progressed and incorporated rock, rap and midi. In 2000 their brother Andre Smit – rhythm guitarist and Ettiene Le Roux – bass guitarist joined the band.

The band’s power is in contrast, using catchy piano/string melodies and rhymes to lead the audience to a point where all the power of the band is released in a controlled yet hard manner. The music is based on everyday experiences and mostly focuses on the rage against materialism and a struggle for individualism. The electronics in the music creates a dreamy atmosphere while the urgent cutting guitars keep a sense of anger and melancholy. The vocals is dynamic yet powerful with lyrics that are poetic describing the pain and anger most of us experience in life with a touch of hope.

IcePhixia is currently busy with their 1st album BeFreezed which has been in progress for 6 years. Well known single tracks are “Throw Myself Away” , “Just One Day” and “Urban Generation” .The band is also busy with a music video for the track nowhere to be released early October. “Just one day” had radio play on Tuks fm while “Throw myself away” are playing on various internet radio stations with over 10 000 downloads world wide.
