FOREIGN MONKEYS [IS]

Foreign Monkeys were formed back in late 2005 and won the Icelandic Music Experiments in March 2006. That gave Foreign Monkeys nationwide recognition.

 

Foreign Monkeys are known for electric-filthy-sounding and fuzzy Rock n‘Roll in faithful contrast with the strong winds and unpredictable weather of their home, Westman Islands, located south of Iceland.

 

Foreign Monkeys have released two albums. The first, “π” (Pi) was released in April 2009 and the second one, fittingly named “RETURN” almost exactly 10 years later up to date. Foreign Monkeys have released few singles through the year and are working on their third album to be released in 2023.  

 

In the summer of 2020, the band started working on their third album in Álsey, one of the small Islands in the Westman Islands archipelago. The project was well documented and footages from the trip can be seen in the official video of “Those That Suffer” the bands new single, released in January 2022. The band has at least three more singles planned to be released in 2022.
