Superserious, an indie band hailing from Iceland, burst onto the music scene in 2021 with a mission to inject a refreshing dose of fun and irreverence into the industry. The band’s lineup consists of Daniel, the vocalist and songwriter, Kristinn as producer and bassist, Haukur on guitar and video editing duties and Sólrún holding down the rhythm on drums.
Fueled by a shared disdain for the overly serious demeanor often associated with artists and musicians, Superserious set out to create powerful indie music reminiscent of the spirited wave that defined the 2010s. Drawing inspiration from iconic acts like The Strokes, Pixies, The Cardigans, and The Hives, the band skillfully blends elements of alternative rock and indie pop to craft a sound uniquely their own.
In 2021, Superserious made a resounding entrance into the music scene with the release of their debut EP, aptly titled “Let’s Get Serious.” The EP featured the infectious number one single “Let’s Consume,” a chart-topper on national radio stations in Iceland that quickly became an anthem for fans across the country.
The band’s highly anticipated LP album, “Seriously?” slated to hit the airwaves in April 2024, is the result of a collaborative effort in production between Kristinn, and renowned Icelandic producer Arnar Gudjonsson. This partnership, driven by Daniel’s vision to take the songwriting to another level, has added a layer of expertise and innovation to their sound, promising a rich tapestry of music that showcases the band’s growth and evolution since their formation.
Superserious has carved a niche for themselves with live performances that are consistently lauded as some of the most energetic in the Icelandic music scene. Their on-stage dynamism and infectious enthusiasm have garnered praise, creating an immersive experience for their audience.
The band’s meteoric rise did not go unnoticed, earning them the prestigious “Best New Act” award at Iceland Airwaves 2022. Even Rolling Stones’ editor, David Fricke, took note, expressing admiration for Superserious by stating, “the band sounded great and is ready for a piece of this world.” This recognition further solidified Superserious as a force to be reckoned with in the indie music scene.
