Just a couple more days to Airwaves! While waiting for the fun to start, we asked some of our music-savvy designers for tips to what to see. Here are graphic designer Alli Metal’s picks from the line-up:
Agent Fresco
Genre: Alternative Rock
One of the best live bands I have ever seen. Crazy vocals mixed with sometimes chaotic but excellent music performance.
Angist
Genre: Death Metal
Death Metal with hardcore female growling,.. and no, she’s not using any vocal effects.
Árstíðir
Genre: Mixed progressive rock, indie, Icelandic folk music
This band makes me think of Icelandic nature, mountains and elfs. Beautiful vocals and flowing strings.
Dimma
Genre: Heavy Metal
Excellent vocals, drums, bass and guitar solos wrapped nicely in Icelandic. Check it out !
Endless Dark
Genre: Post-hardoce
They are young, tattoed, energetic and headbang alot. Your first impression could be, “American, yeah”,.. but no, Icelandic. They have a really nice developed style in spite of their young age.
Tonik
Genre: Experimental – Electronic
Just go and float in an electronic soundscape with keyboards, synths and strings.
