Koja

"Terrible"

-Sindri Eldon, Grapevine magazine



"Koja er Keflavíkursveit sem hefur verið vekja að athygli á sér

á jaðrinum í íslensku

tónlistarlífi fyrir aggressíft og taugstrekkt gítarrokk sem á ýmislegt með

sveitum á borð við Modest Mouse,

Les Savy Fav, Pretty Girls Make Graves og Kimono. Hljómsveitin sendi

nýverið frá sér þröngskífu og

var það upptökuheimilið og útgáfusetrið Geimsteinn sem sér um útgáfu."



-Benson



"Frá Keflavík kemur þessi slúngna nýbylgjuhljómsveit. Aðdáendur At the drive-in, Mogwai og Sonic Youth fá mikið fyrir sinn snúð hjá þessu bandi og nýlega kom út 5-laga plata sem sýnir að Kojan liggur ekki á kojufylliríi og rífur kjaft."



-Dr. Gunni



And for those who don't speak Icelandic:



Koja is the Icelandic word for what english speaking people know as a bunkbed. It took Koja over two years, with long breaks, members coming in and out, members rotating instruments and lack of a band-home to finally assemble the final line-up. Now the bands positions are filled by a physics student, a student of international business, student of the Commercial College of Iceland, a pilot and the chairman of the local theater. All the members come from a different musical background. One playing guitar with the local big band, one with years of experience from classical piano playing, one from singing in various song contests, musical and plays, one playing for a Nirvana-like grunge band and the last one with no musical experience at all.



The two-guitar driven melodic soup is followed by a well paced walking bass line and smart-sounding drums. /Insert further description of bands music here/
