Biography

Hailing from Reykjavík, Iceland! HYLUR’s main goal is to bring people together and make great memories. That’s why the members started a rock band that focuses on making a powerful and entertaining live show. HYLUR is an Icelandic rock band, consisting of 4 childhood friends. The 4 members originally played under the name Melophobia and released 1 album and an EP in 2017 and 2018. In 2019 the band went on a European tour and when they returned back home to Iceland they decided that they wanted to take the sound in a new direction and changed the band’s name. HYLUR finished their debut EP and released the singles: Me, myself & I, and Party Queen in the fall of 2020. Me, myself & I received a lot of attention on the Icelandic rock radio station X977. The song reached number 5 on their Top Twenty list and it remained on there for 10 weeks. Since then HYLUR’s music has received a lot of attention and more songs reached X977’s Top Twenty list. HYLUR's latest single Best Of My Days peaked at number 3 on the list. HYLUR was nominated in two categories at the Icelandic listeners choice awards 2022 - “ Rock artist of the year" and "Best new artist”. We've just finished recording our debut album, and we are anxious to show it to all of you!
