Morðingjarnir (The Murderers) hail from Reykjavik, Iceland, and are like a breath of fresh air in the local scene, though there's by no means lack of interesting bands. They play punk rock with their tounges planted firmly in their cheeks, and their second album, Áfram Ísland! (Go Iceland!), hit the stores on March 13th. One reviewer described it "like being hit in the crotch with a beef hammer", and meant that as a compliment. Influenced equally by punk bands such as Buzzcocks and metal bands like Slayer, this frisky trio was formed by former members of electro hiphop band Dáðadrengir, which at one point included Bjork's son Sindri Eldon. Here's a few songs to get the blood moving:
Morðingjarnir - Ekki í dag (Not today)
Morðingjarnir - Til hvers? (What for?)
Morðingjarnir - Eiturlyfjafíklar (Drug addicts)
And from the dusty archives, a video for "Bara smá" ("Just a little") with Dáðadrengir:
