Retro Stefson is an icelandic band.
Retro Stefson was founded in early 2006, and has worked in various forms ever since. In 2008 came the first LP, Montana, out. Then the band played at the Iceland Airwaves 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and last 2010.
There are at least 5 bands named Fields: 1) Fields were an Anglo-Icelandic electronic/indie band formed in London comprising Nick Peill (Vocals/Acoustic Guitar/Keyboards), Þórunn Antonía (Vocals/Keyboards/Synths), Henry Spenner (Vocals/Drums), Matty Derham (Bass Guitar) and Jamie Putnam (Electric Guitar). In early 2006 the band played their first live shows. This sparked a furious bidding war amongst UK record companies. They eventually signed a unique deal with Atlantic Records which allows them to keep releasing records through their own Black Lab Records set-up as well as Atlantic.

There are multiple bands called Bodies.
1. Bodies (USA)
2. Bodies(Finland)
3. Bodies(Iceland)
4. Bodies(Australia) 1) A now inactive, hardcore / metal band from Louisville, Kentucky. Often described as, "a hellspun mixture from the bones of fornicators and the cinues of thieves and gluttons, the seeds of what would later be called Bodies were sown in the winter of 2004/2005. There, drummer Aaron Osbourne and guitar player Nick Dittmeier pursued their dream of drinking beer and listening to Black Flag every weekend at Dittmeiers house outside of Louisville, KY.
There are at least three artists named Miri:
1. A singer/songwriter from England
2. A rock band from New Zealand
3. A post-rock band from Iceland 1. MIRI from London, England, recently signed to digital acoustic label Reel Me Records. Miri started pursuing music aged 16, before going on to produce beats and sound arrangements for MCs and other vocalists. Now an experienced songwriter and singer has been making her way up in today’s music industry for over a decade, not only producing her own music, but co-writing, performing with and supporting many other well-known music artists.
It's been only 3 years since Iceland's new king of lo-fi layered lushness, Sindri Már Sigfússon, began his official recording career. “Summer Echoes”, the new and second album of his solo-project Sin Fang (he dropped the “Bous”) is now already his 4th album release (including 2 records of his other musical outlet Seabear) since 2007. The album oscillates wildly unearthing glimpses of familiarity - vintage Flying Nun here, Paw Tracks there and a Belle and Sebastian pop nous - while retaining the own stark originality of this uber-talented artist and producer.
Samaris is an unconventional combination. Its a band that consists of a clarinet player (Áslaug Rún Magnúsdóttir), a singer (Jófríður Ákadóttir) and an electronic musician (Þórður Kári Steinþórsson).
Together they play downtempo electronica/triphop. Their sound is filled with space, atmosphere and maybe even a little melancholia.
The band was formed in January 2011 and only a few months later they won the Music Experiments (the icelandic 'battle of the bands').
