Red And Black Attack was the second release from the Hollywood-based rock band The Icarus Line.
The resulting fiasco was the prime reason The Icarus Line didn't record their debut album in 1999, as originally intended, and ended up signing instead with Crank!
The EP was named as a reference to the band's visual style, which involved dressing in black with red neckties.
At the time of the EP's release, John Guerra (F-Minus, Black Fag) was filling the position.
As an homage to their former band's drummer, Tim Childs, The Icarus Line included snippets he had recorded while playing drums at home, very briefly before his death.
