When you surround these four females around their thunderous drummer, you can be sure to get a live performance of a lifetime. Their eclectic mix of melodic punk-rock, dubbed pop-metal by Pitchforkmedia, is a one of a kind blend hailing from a the harsh environs of Iceland.



Vicky has been honing their live shows for the last three years, playing in absolutely every nook and cranny location in their home country. Having taken the Icelandic live scene by storm they gained attention abroad playing the biggest rock festival in China as well as being invited multiple times to the States, playing for rock hungry live crowds in New York and St. Louis. Their reputation as a live act has spread throughout North America as they are currently lined up to rock the Canadian Music Fest in 2010.



Not only content with playing their songs live, they have gotten rave reviews for their debut album, Pull Hard. Singles from their album have been getting amazing airplay with their song Blizzard sitting at the top of the rock charts for two weeks as well as being in X 9.77 Fm's Top Ten list of the greatest songs of 2008. With prestigious rock press support, with Kerrang! Magazine giving them four K's for their performance at Iceland's biggest music festival, and dedicated support from their die-hard fans, Vicky leaves nothing to be desired.



It's melodic punk clad in leather, sometimes sporting a mohawk, sometimes with bleached hair. But it's always ready to lay down riffs in sync with their pile driving drums, leaving the audience screaming for more.

Vicky er íslensk rokkhljómsveit sem samanstendur af 5 ungmennum. Tónlistinn er ekki auðgreinanleg en tónlistasíða Pichforkmedia lýsir því kannski best sem "pop metal". Hver getur dæmt fyrir sig. Mikið vatn hefur runnið til sjávar á þeim tvem árum sem bandið hefur starfað. Þau nánast stanslaust síðan þau hófu að spila saman. Þau spiluðu á tónlistarhátíðinni Iceland Airwaves bæði 2007 og 2008. Í maí 2008 fóru þau í fyrsta skiptið út fyrir landsteinana og spiluðu í Kína, þeim hefur nú verið boðið aftur þangað á til að spila á midi festival 2009, en það er stærsta rokk tónlistarhátíð Kínverja. Í september var þeim svo boðið að spila á Play stl festival í st Louis, Bandaríkjunum og ferðast aftur þangað í febrúar nú á þessu ári. Í október gáfuð þau svo út sína fyrstu breiðskífur sem hefur hlotið jákvæða gagnríni hlustenda og gagnrínenda. Fyrsti smellurinn, lagið Blizzard var á toppi xdominos listans á xinu 977 í tvær vikur og í 7.sæti yfir 100 bestu lög stöðvarinnar árið 2008. Útlitið er því bjart og margt framundar hjá þessari ungu sveit. Ljáið eyra og þið munuð heyra!
