Music like Singapore Sling

Singapore Sling is an Icelandic rock 'n' roll band from Reykjavík, formed in 2000. The band have released nine studio albums to date.

Singapore Sling was formed in spring 2000 in Reykjavík, Iceland, by singer, songwriter and guitarist Henrik Björnsson, aided by his friend, guitarist Einar Þór Kristjánsson. Björnsson had some 8-track demos and wanted to create a band. One of these demos was "Overdrive", which surfaced online on the Iceland Airwaves 2001 official website, and later became "Overdriver", the opening track on their first studio album.

Despite Björnsson's job as a bartender, the band's name did not come from the Singapore Sling cocktail but from a 1990 art film, Singapore Sling, by the Greek director Nikos Nikolaidis.
