Ampop My Delusions

Ampop is an Icelandic melodic-pop/rock band from Reykjavk, Iceland. The name of the band is actually the name of the first song they ever wrote, and is made from the words ambient and pop, which they thought was the definition of the music they were making at that time.The band was originally a duo, but before making their third album they added a drummer to the band. The band currently consists of 3 members:Biggi: Guitar, VocalsKjartan: KeyboardsJn Geir: Drums

The first examples of the bands new direction were demo versions of two songs, My Delusions and Dont let me down which saw the light of day early in 2005. These tracks were instantly picked up on by Radio 1s; Zane Lowe who played My delusions on several occasions and invited the band to play live on his show from Austin, Texas, during this years SXSW music festival. AMPOP played alongside The Bravery, Hot Hot Heat, The Blood Arm and Queens of the Stone Age as the only unsigned band. Other important DJs such as Huw Stephens and Vic Galloway at Radio 1, or Vic McGlynn at BBC 6 Music have also put the stamp of approval to the new songs and have championed the band in their radio shows. After the successful appearance at SXSW the band went back to their studio to finish the album, stopping only to play in NY and the NXNE festival in Toronto
