There’s nothing modest about Benny Crespo’s Gang. Consisting of four very different individuals, the band’s dynamic mixture of over the top hard rock and eerie synth powered lullabies is truly unique and haunting. They have often been described as one of the most interesting bands in Iceland, and with good reason.
Benny Crespo’s Gang’s self-titled 2007 début was gobbled up by local rock-enthusiasts and received top marks from all who reviewed it. Their legendary live shows have consistently made new fans out of anyone who happens to be in the vicinity, and their much-hyped performances at the Iceland Airwaves and Aldrei fór ég suður festivals have earned them fans from all over the world and positive reviews in publications such as NME and Clash Magazine. The band is currently plotting further steps towards world domination and plan to tour the world extensively.
Here’s what the Icelandic music press had to say about Benny Crespo’s Gang’s first LP, released in 2007:
“It is very hard for me not to over-praise this band’s debut.”
4,5/5 DV (Icelandic Daily Newspaper) - Andri Freyr Viðarsson
“Benny Crespo’s Gang’s
debut is without doubt one of the better albums of this year and a
must-have for rock-enthusiasts.”
4,5/5 Ísafold (Icelandic Magazine) - Björn Stefánsson
“As far as i’m concerned, the race for the Icelandic Album of the Year was over the day Benny Crespo’s Gang ended a three-year recording process and released their self-titled debut.”
