no, I had not heard of them before. I do really like their sound, and Icelandic as a language is interesting sounding as well. I will definitely check out their stuff.
How did you run across them, if I may ask?
I have been a fan for a long time, I first saw them when i was 12 yrs old, they were doing a special show on tv for HBO Reverb and I checked them out online and they had an old video uploaded from a 1998 icelandic music film. They are my favorite band. Since then I have always wanted to visit Iceland or live there but have not been yet! I was checking into taking my 50 chevy over via ship but they told me the wheelbase is too big! =/ I have seen them live twice by the way and I would HIGHLY suggest seeing them.
