Consisting of Icelanders Agnes, Halldór, Stefán and Kristján, Sykur (translation: Sugar) began in 2009 and quickly established a reputation for packing out parties with girls and boys looking for good times. So much so that Dazed and Confused described Sykur as "plucked from the top drawer, a morsel of such rare succulence that it is sure to gain attention even beyond the cordoning velvet rope that sequesters the art world's N.I.P (Nearly Important People)". The band released their first album, Frábært eða Frábært in October 2009 to much critical acclaim and commercial success. The single Viltu Dick? From this album becoming one of the biggest radio hits in Iceland in 2009.

The band already play a pivotal role in the Reykjavik scene and have collaborated with the hottest local talent, as well as sharing stages with international acts such as Mt. Eden, Peaches, Familjen, Casiokids, Juvelen, Kleerup and Junior Boys. Their landmark performance at Iceland Airwaves 2012 at the new Harpa Concert Hall saw them ‘stealing the show’ according to the Reykjavik Grapevine paper. In 2012 they also played at the By:larm festival in Oslo and The Great Escape. 

The Mesopotamia EP, getting its debut international release through Wall of Sound in March 2013, sees the band develop their much-loved electro sound. From the exquisite downtempo Battlestar, to the full-on party anthems of Messy Hair and Curling, The Mesopotamia EP is the soundtrack of lost weekends and fun times. 

Doing what I can to be heard. Before there is no sound.

"Van Go Lion bring that strong sense of the 80s and early 90s electropop authenticity, with the amplification of the 2000s. Well-crafted Pop is well-crafted music - period; it merges commercial appeal with creative verity. Paige and Loerzel craft music that is catchy, but classically-trained." - Trapperkeeper

"... unabashedly electro-pop and just gorgeous sounding that will most definitely take you back to the "Pretty In Pink" days of school discos..." - Electroqueer

"Van Go Lion's sound has a marvelous synth/dance/retro vibe about it. Amy Paige's powerful vocals are a major highlight in every song, and Josh Loerzel's production pays homage to the great dance tunes of the 80s and 90s, but with a really euro-modern originality." - Auditory Love

"In a land filled with cookie cutter top-40 products, it’s hard to stand out when it comes to pop, but Van Go Lion repeatedly does it, and (at least in our opinion) they’re doing it better than anybody else." - The Get Downnn

"From the made-for-an-80s-soundtrack brilliance of 'The Ache' to their dark house-y debut single 'Body Moves' to the straight-up poptastic eargasm that is 'We Don't Miss A Beat', these guys have kept fans constantly guessing their next musical direction." - Fred Hystere

"...an infectious brand of 80’s inspired electro-pop with insanely catchy hooks fused with big vocals and compulsive electro beats" - Hard Candy

"There are a lot of DIY pop acts out there. Some of them get it wrong. Some of them get it right. Van Go Lion get it right more than they get it wrong. - Pop Justice

"I am wetting myself at the prospect of a full album from these guys" - The Razor Wire

"...a collection of glittering electronic pop, with some soulful bits thrown in, and it's AMAZING!" - Fabtastic!
