Get ready to add a new band to your Iceland music list. Of Monsters and Men, with their penchant for catchy vocal hooks and anthemic indie-folk spirit, are busting out of their native land in a big way. And after a Super(Bowl) weekend of voting, you have crowned them MTV Iggy’s Artist of the Week!

The Reykjavik septet has already garnered an Icelandic number 1 radio hit and is being compared to the likes of Arcade Fire and Mumford and Sons, to name a few. We know big things are in store for Of Monsters and Men, who recently released their best-selling debut album My Head is an Animal.  

Congratulations, Of Monsters and Men! Click here for a Q&A with these monsters of folk!
