Movie Music Archives #015: “Rock In Reykjavik”
Plot outline: A “Decline of Western Civilization” covering the Icelandic scene in ‘82! How specific!
The film chronicles 19 different bands, and has much performance footage, but one major complaint some I know who’ve seen it have against it is that there’s not enough cultural background. I don’t have that big of a problem with that specific issue; I think it’s equally as fun as “Urgh! A Music War”. The film was produced for Icelandic television, and I can only imagine what Icelandic housewifes and captains of industry must’ve thought about it — but then again, I can’t imagine what it’s like to be Icelandic at all, given my rotted-out American brain.
Some random Bjork fan site sez:
“It took punk two years to travel across the Atlantic all the way to Iceland back in 1979. ‘Rokk í Reykjavík’ is an ambitious 2CD-compilation that gives you a great overview of the Reykjavík-anarcho-scene as it contains contributions from lots of different punk-bands ranging from many different directions. It was recorded in 1982, when the era was about to fade and a lot of bands split up. You’ll find some quite traditional, left-wing-radical UK-type three-chords-aggro-stuff performed by bands such as Vonbridgi and Fraebbblarnir. Some other bands are heading in a more pop-oriented, guitar-solo-based direction. The Björk-fronted Tappi Tíkarrass adds elements of funk and jazz to their music, which makes it a good counterpart to the more traditional UK-oriented acts. Another band worth mentioning is Q4U, a riot-grrrl-combo in the vein of Siouxsie & the Banshees, with very humourous lyrics. ‘Rokk í Reykjavík’ also contains contributions from some experimental, freaked-out surrealist acts like Sjálsfróun and Purkur Pillnikk, fronted by a very young Einar Örn Benediktsson (later with The Sugarcubes.)
Some of the best songs are performed by the band Theyr, which featured the drummer Siggtryggur Baldurson (later with The Sugarcubes), as well as one actual former Killing Joke member. Their music is slower and more gothic-oriented compared to the other punk-acts and the singer has an audible David Bowie-complex. My definitive favorite on the album though, is the dark, haunting and heavily Joy Division-influenced ’Where Are The Bodies,’ performed by post-punkers Bodies. The song was recently covered by Utangardsmenn, the most popular rock-band in Iceland today and it’s so advanced I’m surprised it didn’t give Bodies a breakthrough outside their native country. The CD version of ‘Rokk í Reykjavík’ contains one piece by oddball noise-avant-gardist Bruni BB and some traditional Icelandic Middle Age chanting by Sveinbjörn Beinteinsson, the founder of the Icelandic pagan-worshipping community.”

I had no idea it took that long to get to Iceland but then again Iceland is kind of out there a ways
- I do enjoy this band quite a bit and have followed progress for a while. Wish I could find more modern type products on them thouh like stuff at www.improperazzi.net (which by the way if you havent seen you should at least take a peek at it, have some really wild punk stuff in there)
