ADHD
Is an award winning quearted from Iceland that have been recording and performing for over 15 years.
There are bands where every album is a step into the unknown. There are others whose development is a reliable and consistent expansion of their terrain. The latter applies to the Icelandic musicians’ collective ADHD.
Defying categorisation, ADHD’s sonic landscape seamlessly blends jazz, rock, ambient, and folk. Their music creates an immersive and exhilarating experience. Critics and fans alike have praised their originality, creativity, and virtuosity.
The band consists of four professional musicians who have been playing together for almost two decades:
Óskar Guðjónsson: Saxophone
Ómar Guðjónsson: Guitar, pedal steel, and bass
Tómas Jónsson: Piano and keyboards
Magnús Trygvason Eliassen: Drums
You who know us from way back remember Davíð Þór Jónsson who left the band in 2018 and was replaced by Tómas Jónsson.

DISCOGRAPHY
The first album was recorded at Óskars home back in 2009 were the band did most of the recordings themselves and the release was a typical DIY by the band.
The second album was recorded in a wonderful studio in Vestmannaeyjar and was recorded by Ívar Ragnarsson, who has been the fifth member of the band ever since and has recorded and mixed all the albums from then on.
Contemblate a German label released albums 2-5 and helped the band to establish their audience in the Germanic market.
From albums 3 and 4, whom were released together, the band has been blessed with the amazing eye of Spessi Hallbjörnsson an established Icelandic photographer, who during a spell was living and writing his chopper in Texas, where he captured the owesome cover of album #8.
