Foreign Monkeys

Foreign Monkeys were formed back in late 2005 and won the Icelandic Music Experiments in March 2006. That gave Foreign Monkeys nationwide recognition.


Foreign Monkeys are known for electric-filthy-sounding and fuzzy Rock n‘Roll in faithful contrast with the strong winds and unpredictable weather of their home, Westman Islands, located south of Iceland.


Foreign Monkeys have released two albums. The first, “π” (Pi) was released in April 2009 and the second one, fittingly named “RETURN” almost exactly 10 years later up to date.


In the summer of 2020, the band started working on their third album in Álsey, one of the small Islands in the Westman Islands archipelago. The project was well documented and footages from the trip can be seen in the official video of “Those That Suffer” the bands new single, released in January 2022.


The band released three more singles in “We Steal From Ourselves”, “Feel Good” and “High” which all got on to the X977 X-Dominos Billboard. For example, “Those That Suffer” and “We Steal From Ourselves” spent 5 weeks at the top combined


Foreign Monkeys released a new single “LOW” on March 10th and are at the moment working on a LP album released later in 2023.
