Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the return of the hard rock supergroup Iconic, featuring Michael Sweet (guitars), Joel Hoekstra (guitars), Marco Mendoza (bass), Tommy Aldridge (drums), and Nathan James (vocals), for their sophomore album \u201cII\u201d, scheduled for July 31, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To celebrate the announcement, the band share the new single and accompanying lyric video, \u201cCry No More\u201d, available now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Sweet commented: \u201cIt\u2019s been a long time coming and the time is finally here! It\u2019s an absolute honor to be a part of such an incredible band and \u201cCry No More\u201d is the perfect representation of who Iconic is. Music that takes you back to the best of times and reminds you that rock is still alive and well!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a pleasure to work with these fantastic musicians in Iconic. \u2018Cry No More\u2019 should give classic rock fans something raw and real in terms of both playing and production.  Crank it up!\u201d,<\/em> Joel Hoekstra added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nathan James also stated: \u201cI’m so pleased to have made another album with these incredible musicians. I hope everyone enjoys this first single \u201cCry No More\u201d and the whole album\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, the time is here, folks, finally Iconic \u2013 \u201cII\u201d is coming to you, with the first single \u201cCry No More\u201d coming soon!\u201d,<\/em> Marco Mendoza exclaimed. \u201cLike always, it\u2019s a blast and quite an honor to be part of a project like this, with all these players! Take a listen and enjoy! Viva la ROCK!!!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-Order \u201cII\u201d <\/strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iconic return with \u201cII\u201d, a second album that doesn\u2019t just continue the band\u2019s journey – it defines it. Where their debut introduced the chemistry between five world-class musicians, II sharpens that vision into a clearer, heavier, and more confident sonic identity, delivering a sound that is more powerful, more direct, and unmistakably rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of the album lies the electrifying guitar partnership of Joel Hoekstra and Michael Sweet, delivering a masterclass in soaring melodies, blazing solos, and muscular riffs that perfectly balance technical brilliance with pure hard-rock attitude. Beneath them, the rhythm section of Tommy Aldridge and Marco Mendoza drives the record with thunderous authority, creating a groove that is both massive and relentless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album kicks off with \u201cCry No More\u201d, a high-octane opener that immediately sets the tone – an energetic slice of hard rock packed with driving riffs, explosive drums, and a chorus built to stick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other side of the emotional spectrum, \u201cTears Keep On Falling\u201d showcases the band\u2019s dynamic range, unfolding as an electrifying power ballad where melody, atmosphere, and intensity come together in dramatic fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towering above it all is Nathan James, whose performance on \u201cII\u201d is nothing short of extraordinary – powerful, soulful, and commanding, elevating every track with unmistakable presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With bigger riffs, deeper grooves, and a stronger sense of identity, \u201cII\u201d captures Iconic at full force: a band no longer introducing itself but fully owning its sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
