BRAIN POLICE (IS) Stoner / Psychedelic
Brain Police

 

Based in Reykjavik the men of Brain Police are Icelandic citizens but with the souls of American rock gods. Fueled by a desire to play dirty, kick ass rock and roll BP (as fans call them) rose like a comet in the night from relative obscurity in their home country to become one of Iceland biggest rock acts.    It’s hard to find higher praise about Brain Police than this quote from fellow Icelandic musician Jónsi (Sigur Rós) “Brain Police is definitely one of Iceland’s greatest bands – one of my favourite. The music is driven by magnificent force and great personal charisma.”   It all began, like most bands do, back in 1998 when Jón Björn Ríkarðsson, Gunnlaugur Lárusson and Hörður Stefánsson got together and started jamming some seriously heavy tunes. Very quickly the boys realized they had something special going on. They snagged a name from the Frank Zappa catalog and began honing their skills by assaulting the local touring circuit.   2000 saw the release of their mightily impressive debut “Glacier Sun” which was followed by, what else, more savage touring inside Iceland. Amazed by what they heard Icelandic label “Sena” snapped up Brain Police in 2003 and over the next four years released three more albums of BP’s down and dirty style of Icelandic stoner rock. Each successive album starting with 2003’s self-titled “Brain Police” brought the boys more and more fame in their native country not to mention several top 10 radio hits.
