ICON FOR HIRE
Icon For Hire is an independent rock band powered by vocalist Ariel Bloomer and guitarist Shawn Jump, combining high voltage riffs with vulnerable, confrontational lyrics. Rooted in Warped Tour nostalgia yet unafraid to evolve, the band explores themes of mental health, identity, and resilience with a raw honesty that has earned them a loyal global following.
Through a thriving Patreon community, custom merch drops, and immersive fan experiences like Camp Icon, Icon For Hire has built a direct to fan ecosystem that keeps their audience at the center of everything they do. As fully independent artists, they continue to push boundaries, both creatively and in how they connect with fans.
With their upcoming album, the band enters a new chapter, pairing raw vulnerability with anthemic hooks and a message of resilience that continues to evolve their sound.
In 2026, Icon For Hire will tour North America to celebrate the 15 year anniversary of their debut album, Scripted. Ariel and Shawn can’t wait to share this moment with fans, reliving Scripted together, front to back, for the first time in over a decade, along with a few surprises.
