    Totally awesome, totally different.

    By sxpiec@...  Sep 24, 2003

    Pros: New sound, totally different from other rock/rap bands

    Cons: May be a bit to out there for some fans

    In an age where nearly all rap sounds the same, and rap/rock has become a joke thanks to Fred Durst, here comes our saviors from the faraway place known as iceland. Sounding different than anything you've ever heard before, each and every song on... this album would sound like an expirement with a group with only half the chops of quarashi. With each song being different from eachother, you never know what to expect from this multitalented band. I definitely recomend this CD for all of those who are bored with all the top 40 rap crap that is constantly played on radio. Selected Tracks: 3.Baseline, 5.TarFur, 11. Dive In Read more Less

    Greatest thing since peanut butter

    By Jigga  May 4, 2003

    What a great album from a band that had really no following when they signed with Columbia. All of their fans were from their home country Iceland with the exception on a very few in America. I cant wait to hear what they are going to sound like on t...heir follow up album since Hossi (lead vocals) has decided to quit the band and go back to school. From what I hear it will be more hip hop. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Jinx

  • All Music Guide

    With cutting-edge artists such as Sigur Ros and Bjork coming out of Iceland, the last thing you'd expect from the remote country is a rap-rock band. Quarashi is straight from the Rage Against the Machine/Beastie Boys school of thought, though there is enough diversity on Jinx to keep things unpredictable. The quartet leans more towards three MCs and one DJ than a hard rock band with rappers and flogging guitars, while beats alternate between drum machine and live percussion. Only occasionally does the band embark into big metal riffs, like on the wild “Copycat." Elsewhere there are hints of reggae (“Weirdo") and even traces of the band's origin in Iceland (“Tarfur" is the only song with Icelandic vocals). For a band who programs most of its music, Jinx comes across sounding energetically organic. Definitely the kind of testosterone-fueled rock to which kids will want to wreck things.

Biography

Quarashi

Though Icelandic rap-rock outfit Quarashi finally saw their U.S debut released in early 2002, the band had been honing its music since the mid-'90s. Producer/drummer Sölvi Blondal and vocalists/rappers Hössi Olafsson, Steini Fjelsted (a former Icelandic skating champion as well as a graffiti artist), and Omar Swarez formed Quarashi (pronounced "kwa-ra'-she") in 1996. ... Read more
