This is a great band... too bad no one gave them the credit they deserved. Their style was better than other the bands that were popular at that time, all of them from the US. I'm from South America and I couldn't buy their album because they didn't sell it here so I had to ask an aunt who lives in NY to bought it for me. It was the first (and only) time I ventured to buy an album just listening one song and I have no regrets at all. I still have it and I still listen to it.
Well, they are coming out with a new greatest hits album, that is going to be officially released in October of this year. It's also going to have some rare / unreleased tracks on it. Keep in mind that this is an OFFICIAL release by Quarashi, not a fan-made compilation! I can't post the link here, but you can go to their official Facebook for more info.
@DabbiKongur I know that... That's why I said they deserved more credit than than the american bands who were popular at that time... and I also know where is Iceland.
DOOOODDDDEEEE I have been looking evreywhere for the expicit jinx download (Itunes has only clean :/) Between us 2, is it legal? I'm already coping it, just wanna check.
@Adema1226 Actually Frequency was a popular game that came out months before Amplitude, same company however after a little research Quarashi's first appearance was in Amplitude, Check out Frequency though it was a bad ass game that got too little acknowledgment
@MrBranda24 why? there's no need for an army or navy on an island like Iceland, the police here doesn't even have guns, plus there's only 300,000 people
@bjarni88 No, but I'm not Icelandic, but I am familiar with that. And I know that u have territorial agreements about the fish limits. And BTW Jeg was going to mention about that..
No one really knows. They say they were just tired of making music with each other, no personal problems or anything. Their last album, "Guerilla Disco" was very successful in both Iceland in Japan where it was released and they had a strong fan base, yet they disbanded only a year after the release of "Guerilla Disco".
You can download all of their albums free high quality at my Quarashi blog listed in the video description.
@Mexicancoolkid21 Actually, I just conducted an interview with Tiny on April 25, 2010. He discusses such topics as the break up and his current musical acts - read it at the Quarashi blog. (Link in the video description)
These guys have a great sound. I got turned on to them in 2002. Hössi Ólafsson sounds a hell of a lot like Adam "Ad Rock" Horowitz so the Beastie Boys comparisons are inevitable. This is from their album Jinx, I think, and it is a very good album that I recommend.
@fishbone3333 yeah these guys were awesome. too bad hossi quit. i think they eventually all broke up after their second albumn. im too lazy to look it up. I found out about them on the game amplitude. this song, baseline is like the 2nd or 3rd song in the game that you can play. prolly my 2nd fav on the entire game
Actually this was from their third album, not including their first EP from 1995. You can download all their releases (albums, EP's, singles, music videos) for free high quality at my blog (link in the description for this video).
@Jinxxed0 They made like five albums and were a band till 2005 where there quit because they were tired of making music. I kinda wish they would regroup they have a very raw unique sound of there own.
Well, this song is mostly turntables and bass & drums. The guitar is mostly in the back.. so idk if the guitarist is truly a pro. Could be, but it's not like his skills are tested to the limit in this song...
The guitarist's name is Smari Tarfur. I would suggest looking him up and not judging him on one song, because, like you were probably thinking, the guitar riffs in this song are quite simple. However, he is a very talented guitarist with a wide range of playing skills.
Bit of a foolish thing to say. You don't need to be good to be a professional. All 'professional' means is that you earn money full-time from your craft. Meg White is a professional, and she's terrible. Furthermore, a true pro will play for the music, as this guitarist did here. Only amateurs feel the need to wank their technique all over the music.
now itz very obvious alot of their inspiration comes from beastie boys. but other than that, ho rilly cares. its sounds excellent and iz a blast 2 listen to. i luv this song as well as the album jinx. this iz just 2 underrated. i wish people would listen 2 this instead of soulja boy. even though i do prefer hip hop to rock, i still love rock, and this isnt just good rock, but mgood music in general
metallica sounds like motorhead, but didnt copy them , linkin park for example sound a lot like metallica but without copying them, same here for quarashi and beastie boys. They rock.
I'm glad you like the music, but saying they copied The Beastie Boys is a false statement. Give a specific example of a time Quarashi has ever copied the Beasties.
damn amplitude used to be my game b4 guitar hero but times were different in games back then I don't think anyone had even begun to think abt plastic instruments regardless hearing this song brings back good memories
