Reykjavík, Iceland (2005 – present)

Icelandic band Menn Ársins (en.: Men of the Year) was founded on 2005 in Reykjavík, Iceland by singer/guitarist Sváfnir and keyboard player/singer Halli (Haraldur Vignir). Their main goal in the beginning was to work on a few songs that Sváfnir had up his sleeve and wanted to work on.
Recordings were made and few of the songs got some considerable airplay on the national radio station. The band went through some personal changes (mostly changing bass players) until electric bassist Sigurdór Guðmundsson joined them in late 2006 and played with them until late 2010. Drummer Diddi (Kjartan Guðnason) has been on board from the early days of the band.

In 2007 the band started to work on some more songs with all the members chipping in on the songwriting. After an intensive rehearsal period in the fall of 2007 they locked themselves away at Lundgaard Studios in Denmark and recorded 12 tracks for their debut album (released on their own label in September 2008).

The music of Menn Ársins does not easily fall into one category. All members are active musicians and have played in most styles of music. Haraldur has been with () rockers Dead Sea Apple for over a decade and is also composing and arranging in classical settings as well as composing for commercials.

    I agree. These changes are very disappointing. But at least, you can still download a free song if you like the preview. You can listen to my songs http://www.last.fm/music/Kalle+Nurk. Icelandic music is known for its good quality, so keep doing it. All the best!

    Distinct, full of character and as a result charming. A debut to make you anxious to get to know what's coming next. So far for me „Augun Opnast“ is the outstanding gem
