Denim on Ice is the second album by Denim. It was released in 1996. The band went on their first tour supporting Pulp on their stadium tour.
The song "The Great Pub Rock Revival" jokingly namechecks musician Wreckless Eric, who in retaliation penned a scathing response with his group The Hitsville House Band, entitled "Lawrence of Arabia on Ice".

Reception
Upon its release, Simon Price of the Melody Maker magazine gave it a favorable review, stating that the album was "possibly the funniest record ever made" and "an act of aesthetic warfare...and commercial suicide". John Sutherland included "Denim on Ice" in a list of "great storytelling albums", alongside The Kinks and The Pet Shop Boys. In April 2024, Uncut Magazine placed the album in the 222th spot while listing the "500 Greatest Albums Of The 1990's".
