Honestly, they made me feel like I wasnāt alone in my depression and thereās nothing worse than feeling isolated when youāre depressed. This band also gave me hope that one day I could look back and smile at the pain knowing I overcame it... the day hasnāt come yet but they tell me it will

I remember meeting Icon with the Tour Bus pass in Sacremento. My mom had recently passed away and I was so uncontrollably anxious due to lack of sleep and other obvious factors. Ariel seemed a bit preoccupied with the other fans, and I was starting to get worse. But Shawn was the coolest. He clearly saw I was struggling. I whisper-asked Ariel to sign her book for me but she didn't hear it so he grabbed it and offered to sign, we joked about how Hot Guitar Guy was the star anyway. Saw him multiple times that night and he was always beyond friendly and it really felt like he was making a point to acknowledge me. When we got a chance to take pictures after the show they were both incredibly kind, Ariel saying something to the effect of "see you're not so anxious anymore" or something. Both patting me on the shoulders.
I remember feeling so embarrassed and out of place because the tour bus was singing Happy Hurts and that was the only Icon song I didn't like because I just didn't get it... one week later, I listened to it again and just started crying. I completely understood and regret missing out on the magical moment the rest of the bus had.
Still, regardless of what it felt like I missed out on, Ariel was kind and Shawn went above and beyond to make me feel appreciated.
They're the fuckin best and if you ever get a chance to meet them, please do. They say don't meet your heroes but sometimes the legends really do hold up

Icon for hire has helped me a lot. I suffer from anxiety and depression. When I first heard them I fell in love with their music. They have taught me that Iām not alone and never give up. I have reached out to my friends and family for help and I have even talked to my dr. I can definitely relate to their music and itās my go to when Iām just having a really bad day or I feel like nothing is going my way or when Iām just overwhelmed. Keep up the amazing job and I canāt wait to see you in concert again!!!!!!

I found you guys when I was a hollow shell. I was a preteen, in a dysfunctional and abusive home with depression and suicidal tenancies. I'd often time constantly question my worth and I was so unhappy. To top if off I didn't even know who I was or what I wanted to become. Icon for Hire, ariel, everyone that was and are part of the band helped pick me up and allow my to surface from the drowning water. I'm still finding my way, I still fighting battles such as my disassociating and maladaptive daydreaming etc. But I'm slowly finding myself and I've been happier. I'm 20 years old, it's been 8 years with you guys and you guys save me~Thank you so muchš

When I first heard Icon For Hire, I thought I was perfectly mentally healthy but I think even then a part of me knew I wasn't and the music soothed that part of me. Flash forward a few years and all of the stuff I was holding back got pulled out into the open and I realized why I'd gravitated toward their music. It continues to soothe that part of me even though I'm in a much better place and reminds me that I'm not alone

It's so beautiful to see other people find comfort in your music and to see how many you are able to help. I myself am really grateful, not just for the awesome music but also for how meaningful they have become to me.... Even though I still can't listen to āYou can't kill usā without bawling my eye out. š
Hopefully I'll be able to see you at your concerts one day. You guys are awesome! Thank you so much! š
