SINGAPORE SLING
(ISL, Fuzz CLub)
Singapore Sling is a darkly psychedelic band from Reykjavik, Iceland. They are inexplicable and elusive but remind one of the drugged out soul power bands like Jesus and Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine. Their debut album, “The Curse Of Singapore Sling”, came out in Summer 2003. To date they have 6 criticaly acclaimed studio albums under their belt and has gained fans from all over the globe. Their leader is singer-songwriter-guitarist Henrik Bjornsson, is also known from the band Dead Skeleton
Everyone knows the line “Life Is Killing My Rock and Roll”. The song became an underground anthem, but it?s actually quintessential of what Singapore Sling are about: the eternal struggle with no winners between the “life fast, die young” myth and the black humor of everyday´s life.
Eleven years after the release of debut album, “The Curse Of Singapore Sling”, they have reached and deliberately wanted to keep the status of cult band with a devoted following, not moving that much from their base in Reykjavik and feeding their legend with regular releases on labels like Stinky, Outlier, Fuzz Club, 8mm Muzik: “Life Is Killing My Rock and Roll” (2004), “Taste the Blood of Singapore Sling” (2005).”Perversity, Desperation and Death” (2009), “Singapore Sling Must Be Destroyed” (2010), “Never Forever” (2011).
