Initially known as The Schoolboys in 1979 (perhaps earlier), Icon was formed in 1981 in Phoenix, Arizona, by high school friends Dan Wexler (guitar), Stephen Clifford (lead vocals) and Tracy Wallach (bass - a grandson of actor Eli Wallach). They were joined by Dave Henzerling (guitar) and John Covington (drums) from a band initially called Driver (which also had Jim Seagraves on vocals). The Schoolboys released an EP, Singin' Shoutin', and had a few songs on local compilation albums. In 1984, Icon was signed to Capitol Records. At that point, Henzerling and Covington had left the band and were replaced by John Aquilino (guitar) and Pat Dixon (drums) (former drummer of Loosely Tight).
