Jakobínarína - The First Crusade (2007)

Jakobínarína is a would-have-been-next-big-thing-coming-out-the-Icelandic-music-scene-but-unfortunately-they've-stopped-their-career indie-punk band. 

These very stereotypical icelanders play indie music heavily  influenced by early 80's punk music. Quick guitars accompanied by keyboards and the dark voice of the lead singer Gunnar Ragnarson. Jakobínarína toured as support with the Kaiser Chiefs. Before getting any big success in the international mainstream, they announced that they would stop as a band, for educational purposes(the band members are 17-20 years old). The young age really reflects in their texts, with ironic and rebellious titles such as I've Got A Date With My Television and His Lyrics Are Disastrous.
