One of Iceland’s most exciting new bands [...] charmingly eclectic

(Dazed, 2024)

Hailing from the grassroots of Reykjavík’s vibrant music scene, Supersport! remain champions of the DIT (do-it-together) ideology, and “Iceland’s most productive indie band”, as all four members have been active participants of the influential Post-dreifing collective since its 2018 founding. This work has deeply influenced their values, the way they create and how they relate to their community and their fans: The band came across as deeply passionate about their local music scene, [...] pioneering Reykjavík’s ‘house party’ movement which sees bands play gigs in the basements of houses in response to venues closing across the city to make room for hotels (Crack Magazine, 2024) On “allt sem hefur gerst” Supersport! are at their most vulnerable yet. Still, playfulness remains at the heart of the piece, as they seek ways to contextualise formative experience; making sense of chaotic pain and progress, regret and joy. Opening track, “gráta smá” is perhaps the most jarring example with singer Bjarni Daníel drawing comparisons between himself and his father and his father’s father; discovering the likenesses and feeling in them both deep pride and existential terror.
