First coming together in 2001, Intercooler have achieved feats that most bands can only dream of. The brainchild of vocalist and guitarist Phil Ballantyne, drummer Damon Cox, guitarist Michael Caso (later replaced by Darek Mudge) and bassist Joel Potter, Intercooler released their first critically acclaimed set, Old School Is The New School, in 2002.

Intercooler went on to play the Big Day Out and Livid festivals in 2003. That same year the band also toured the US and supported Red Hot Chili Peppers and Queens Of The Stone Age. With such a positive response from US audiences, Intercooler headed back to the US in 2004 and 2005 for further tours.

Somewhere amongst all this activity, the boys managed to release their EP Dance Of A Thousand Promises. This was also a hit, spending 41 weeks in the top 20 of the Australian Independent Charts. Add to this the track “All Coming Back to Me” being added multiple TV shows such as the series ’10 Things I Hate About You’, “DeGrassi High, 90210 and more, it was clear Intercooler had made their mark.

2006 saw the boys play the Big Day Out again and produce their second album, Forever Or Whatever in 2007, which was lovingly overseen by Magoo (Midnight Oil, Regurgitator, Butterfingers), that saw the band evolve their style and cement themselves in the hearts and minds of the Australian indie pop – loving public.

What Intercooler is peddling should be made illegal, because kids across the country are going to get addicted to their sizzling pop hooks.
