I lived in Keflavik for about a year.  I loved the people of Iceland and their music!

There's some good punk in there. There's also some really strange stuff. Iceland is one of the most musically prolific countries (per capita) apparently.

EDIT: Bill: radioparadise.com handles crazy chars like ð much better than my wife's music player. Props.


{#Frustrated}   Awful. I think dying cats sing more on key.
...i don't know if that vocalist is male or female but she/he sounds just like damien rice!..

edit: ...male, i think, and distiguishable now that i hear a bit more, but still quite a noteworthy similarity...
