Artrocker Magazine and Jägermeister have set up a little web series called Icebreaker, where they get bands to interview their heroes and inspirations. It just so happens that the latest episode has Turbowolf (Heard of them? We’ve mentioned them once or twice) trekking over to the Isle of Wight to chat to Britain’s most well-known conspiracy theorist, David Icke.
Americans, children, and anyone else reading who isn’t familiar with British culture before the early 1990s might need to bring themselves up to speed with who David Icke is. Formerly a relatively-famous television presenter on the BBC’s flagship sports show, Grandstand, Icke famously announced in a televised primetime interview that he was the son of God, before outlining some of his more outlandish theories on the sinister forces controlling mankind’s destiny. Understandably, since then he has been routinely mocked by the press. It also meant that over the last 20 years, Icke has slowly built-up a staggeringly large international following for his ideas, writing dozens of books and completing numerous speaking tours across the globe. Last year he even sold out Brixton Academy when he hosted an 8-hour lecture there. Needless to say, we were intrigued to find out what “wisdom” he would convey to Turbowolf in 15 minutes:
Supporters of David Icke point out that people are far too interested in highlighting the more outlandish aspects of David Icke’s personal philosophy, and choose to ignore the huge swathes of it dedicated to examining how human society has developed to a point where happiness and fulfillment of the rich has become inextricably linked with the economic exploitation of both the world’s poor and the natural resources of planet Earth. However, the truth of the matter is that none of that is as funny to write about as Icke’s theories that large numbers of the world’s ruler are in fact shape-shifting interdimensional lizard people. Statistically, at least some of these lizard people will also be watching Turbowolf on their co-headlining UK tour with Hawk Eyes, which kicks off just before the band release their self-titled debut album on November 11.

Did you also know that David Icke believes that the Isle of Wight is a haven for Satanists, paedophiles and Freemasons, and that all three are currently working in cahoots to control the Isle of Wight through various drug-smuggling operations? We’re not making this up. We told Stitch from The Defiled this (him being a native of Isle of Wight) to which his response was “What the hell is he babbling about! I wish this was true then my childhood may have been a lot more fun!”
