LEGEND: they are the new ones - yet they are not new. They are Krummi Björgvinsson, artist and singer/songwriter of the famed rock band Minus. And Halldor Björnsson, composer/producer of innumerable works of musical mastercraft. 

Over the past 10 years these two friends had both separately become giants in the Scandinavian music scene. But, LEGEND had to become. 

As the tale tells, one night their passion for electronica, plus a seemingly quasi-telepathic studio work process -and copious amounts of beer - led a song called 'Devil In Me' to be born. This song was leaked to an Icelandic radio station and soared up to the top of the charts. 

Realising this had become more than an experiment, the duo took the name LEGEND, where spiritual conflict of darkness and light permeates their music. Some label it as 80s goth electro. But, rest assured, this collaboration is luminous, as these two talents combined shine brightly. 

The band's frontman and songwriter Krummi, is no stranger to the music world, having catapulted post hardcore band Minus to deals with Sony, Victory Records, Smekkleysa, and One Little Indian. LEGEND's debut album Fearless was self-released on vinyl and CD in Iceland April 2012 to astonishing reviews, including comparisons to what reads as a who's who of modern music. An essential record that will keep giving back. Highly conceptual, dark and danceable, this new-darkwave duo have the big ones it takes to back up their name. LEGEND signed to the Canadian label Artoffact Records. The album Fearless was re-released on 11th of December 2013 in North America, Canada and Europe. 

The long awaited debut album Fearless is out now and you can order the Icelandic version here online. Fearless is a 10 track album. It's a cohesive work that lies between a glacial synth work and gloomy industrial sound of 80s era. 
Our live show consists of a drummer, guitar, bass, keyboards and singer.

Once there were three.

The Son(s) released their self-titled album with Olive Grove in 2011 to much critical acclaim (thank you Drowned in Sound). 

The subsequent ten track mini LP, ‘Leviathan', recorded overwinter in an empty Edinburgh tenement, is a thing of real beauty and includes The List single of the month ‘If I Hear You Talk Apostrophes Again’ - “untrammelled DIY glam-strop” - (kudos Nicola Meighan).

The Son(s) second album, 'The Things I Love Are Not at Home' followed in 2014, which included collaborations with SAY Award winner RM Hubbert and Pete MacDonald (Randolph's Leap/State Broadcasters) and single ‘Death, With Castanets’ - “a giddy, all-too-brief slice of bookish, psychedelic pop”.

In 2018 & 19 a new line up of The Son(s) played several low-key shows supporting the likes of Kathryn Joseph, Randolphs Leap & RM Hubbert in Glasgow & Edinburgh - road testing a new set of songs. These songs are due to make up a new Son(s) LP, due to trouble your ears sometime before the apocalypse hits in the early 2020’s.
 

The List - "Grammatical funk, cross-dressing blues and skewed-folk despotism never sounded so full of the joys of spring" 

Daily Record - “So well crafted and honey-dipped in harmonies that it's hard to stay tethered to your home"

The Herald - “A psychedelic-folk wonderland, with vocals gorgeously behind the beat and music intrepidly ahead of the pack.”

Drowned in Sound - "...like the menopause in surround sound..”
