LÝÐSKRUM is an Icelandic alt rock band with a style that is deliberately artsy with a progressive poignance to it. The band revives classic rock through the lenses of these modern evolutions. Their latest release is ‘Bláberja Tom’, a vibrant and exacting rock track. It is inspired by the band Tundur’s annoyance with its Danish drummer’s regular and ridiculous reasons for missing rehearsals. The drummer said his 16-year-old son had a minor cold, which resulted in light-hearted band member banter and the moniker “Blueberry Tom” or ‘Bláberja Tom’. 

The band forges narratives with a casual indifference but with a rock gusto that is very enjoyable. And circling back to the theme, the listener can sense the dynamic of the band as it infuses into their play and performance. 

And stylistically, you’ll catch that distinct 70s ethos with its psychedelic elements, electric guitar fervor, and dynamic vocal lines. Imagine the music of The Kinks and The Doors rolling into spheres that we associate with Foo Fighters, Pixies, and U2. It is full of that melodic camaraderie of old school rock with the defiance edge and angst of the 90s.

The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
