Intercooler is a rock band out of Brisbane, Australia

Intercooler was formed by members of a Sunshine Coast band named Uncle Ecstasy. They have released three full-length albums - Old School Is The New School (released 2002, and re-issued, with a different track listing, in 2006), Forever Or Whatever (released in 2007), and Time To Let Go (released September 2011). Intercooler have also released two EPs - Goodness Of The Girl, and Dance Of A Thousand Promises, . The band comprises (2011) Joel Potter (bass), Phil Ballantyne (vocals/guitars), and Chrissie Trabucco (vocals/guitar/keyboards).

Intercooler was formed in 2001 when Damon Cox paired up with already established songwriting trio Phil Ballantyne, Joel Potter and Michael Caso (later replaced by Darek Mudge). They all had the same affinity for rock music and so decided to form the band Intercooler as their genre was chosen for them.

After a long time rehearsing and practicing their work they moved to work in a studio. With the real scene around them their band's 'sound' really started coming through. Their vocal and instrumental style had sound elements of pop, while still maintaining a distinct rocking edge.

According to Intercooler, their song lyrics are written about all the things which have kept rock 'n' roll kicking along for decades - love, love lost and love never realised.

After completing their first album, Intercooler toured up and down the east coast of their home country of Australia, playing shows with the likes of The Casanovas, Dallas Crane, Peabody, Grinspoon, The Living End and claiming prime international support slots with Teenage Fanclub, Buzzcocks, J Mascis, Gomez, and more recently Maxïmo Park, Preston School of Industry and The Delgados.
