BIOGRAPHY
Bloodgroup was formed in 2006 by Hallur, Lilja, Raggi and Janus during some chilly winter days on the east coast of Iceland. After a few months of writing noticeable and catchy electronic dance pop, the group played at Iceland Airwaves festival. They received praise for a great live show, along with their terrific melodies and beats that seemed to get even the harshest metal heads to do the dance. The group is are now considered one of the best live acts in Icelandic music.

After raising attention in Iceland and outside it, the group finished their first album titled ,,Sticky Situation", released by their own label. Sticky Situation has gotten excellent reviews as the bands debut, and has among other things been called ,,one of the best albums of the year" in Iceland by several critics.

Over the last year the group has traveled to faraway places and performed at many concerts and festivals, including Roskilde festival in Denmark, By:Larm festival in Oslo, Eurosonic festival in Holland, The Great Escape in the UK, SXSW, NXNE and Iceland Airwaves in Reykjavík.

"...they're a thrilling brew akin to an overwrought Underworld; more gigs in this vain ant they'll practically be Iceland's most unmissable..." - The Fly

"The highlight of the final night [at By:Larm festival] was Icelandic electro-pop act, Bloodgroup...wash of electronic melody and filthy basslines won over the crowd, which was in raptures of ecstasy by the time the final chord rang out." - The Notion
