The self-titled, sophomore album by charismatic rock trio Icon For Hire was released last week on 10/15, and makes a big impact on this week's Billboard charts. Published today, the latest listings show Icon For Hire at #11 on the Top Independent Albums chart, #19 on Top Rock Albums, and at #65 on the overall Billboard 200. These are high-water marks for Icon For Hire on all three charts.
The band is ecstatic about this achievement, saying "Our new record was a risk...and our fans showed us that it was a risk worth taking. It was because of their amazing enthusiasm that our first week was a success."

The release of Icon For Hire was preceded by a successful tour, which found the band performing acoustically and electrically. In addition, "An Evening With Icon For Hire" featured a fashion show with designs from the Custom Catastrophes line, run by Icon For Hire's frontwoman, Ariel. The stylish Ariel also recently helped launch REL TV, a podcast that was featured on iTunes along with the Icon For Hire album. On the show, geared towards the younger female demo, Ariel brings her inspirational how-tos and motivating ideas to help you DIY (Do It Yourself) in every area of your life.
