Icelandic pop music today includes many bands and artists, ranging from pop-rock groups such as S谩lin hans J贸ns m铆ns, 脕 M贸ti S贸l (Rockstar: Supernova Magni's band), 脥raf谩r, 脥 Sv枚rtum F枚tum, Quarashi, Menn 脕rsins, Bang Gang, Amiina, and Sk铆tam贸rall to solo ballad singers like Bubbi Morthens, Megas, Bj枚rgvin Halld贸rsson and P谩ll R贸sinkranz, and all the way to reggae band Hj谩lmar and Bulgarian indie-folk band St贸rsveit Nix Noltes. The indie scene is also very strong in Iceland, and bands such as m煤m, Sigur R贸s, the quirky folk/pop singer Hafd铆s Huld, 脫lafur Arnalds and the solo artist Mugison are fairly well-known outside Iceland. Easily the most famous Icelandic artist is eclectic singer and composer Bj枚rk, who has received 13 Grammy nominations and sold over 15 million albums worldwide, including two platinum albums and one gold album in the United States.
In recent years, Iceland has seen a development and change in both the commercial and underground music scene. Prominent experimental indie bands, such as the high school originated Hjaltal铆n and Benny Crespo's Gang are enjoying a wider audience. Notable music veterans are expanding into sub genres; for example, GusGus frontman Dan铆el 脕g煤st is currently collaborating with punk rock star Krummi from M铆nus, forming the raw duo Esja. The electronic scene in Icelandic music has also picked up a wider audience. Grittier electronic bands are redefining old styles with dynamic music such as the widely acclaimed band Steed Lord, who proclaim themselves as producers of "Gangsta electronic music".[citation needed]
The Icelandic metal scene is a mix of metal and hardcore acts. Some notable Icelandic metal/hardcore bands include Wormlust, S贸lstafir, Gone Postal, Changer and Severed Crotch. .
