Biography
MÃnus, an Icelandic rock group formed in ReykjavÃk in 1998, emerged from the local alternative scene with founding members Krummi Björgvinsson (vocals), Bjarni Sigurðarson (guitar), and Björn Stefánsson (drums); the bandâs early lineup included bassist Ãvar Snorrason. Their breakthrough came with the 2001 release of Jesus Christ Bobby on Smekkleysa, which garnered attention from NME, Metal Hammer, Terrorizer and Kerrang! and established the group as a notable presence in the postâhardcore genre. The band followed with Halldór Laxness in 2003, a record that showcased a more melodic approach, and The Great Northern Whalekill in 2007, the latter achieving significant airplay on Icelandic radio and touring Europe, sharing stages with Metallica, Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age. Singles such as "The Long Face" (2004) and "Throwaway Angel" (2008) contributed to their catalog. After a period of reduced activity and side projects, MÃnus announced a reunion in 2020, performing a 25âminute set in ReykjavÃk, and played further shows in 2024 and 2025, reaffirming their enduring influence within Icelandic rock.
