Originating from the banks of Newcastle upon Tyne, Reykjavik Kids are tip top duo Paul Tissington & Scott Munro, with a musical blend of up-tempo blasts of indie, dance and punk.

Reykjavik Kids, Scott and Paul love to create music on budget computers, beat-up guitars and old synths in their Newcastle and London bases encapsulating a certain sound but together they become an entirely different concept. Both are “post war veterans” of various indie bands and the clichéd “tired old Arctic Monkeys sixth-former line-ups" but have moved away from that to create a unique blend of indie, dance and elements of proto-punk.

"It may be dance inspired music and have synths, drum machines and things, but it still has its roots deeply implanted in the stuff we love like The Beatles, Gang of Four, Interpol, The Rakes just great simple guitar tunes. Basically music we want to listen to ourselves."
