Utangarðsmenn became renown in Iceland by means of extensive press coverage and several gigs, including three at Laugardalshöll, Iceland’s biggest sports arena, where one of the gigs they performed was as supporting band for The Clash.

(5) American Skinhead band - "The details are a blur... the band started around 1997, I (Duck) was writing a lot of music that wasn't fitting in with the band Squiggy I was playing with. My friend at the time was learning drums so it seemed like a perfect combination. I can work out some of these songs I'm writing and she can practice playing the drums. Who knew it would progress. Luckily my buddy Pat who sang for some other local bands Anotherence and The Sick Boys (who I played in to so I knew he would be perfect) was in-between bands and was interested in what we were doing and then THAT cemented our sound and our dedication to making this an actual band.

We went through bass players just trying to find people who would help us out (Don Squiggy, Scott, Sam) but the core band of Pat, Duck and Muffy carried on playing a mix of punk, rockabilly rhythms and Oi!. The sound was really stripped down in the beginning and the recordings we made were rough due to our cashflow. But we played where we could and released music when an opportunity presented itself. Then things started going great when, Gabe from the Oi! Scouts wanted to join on second guitar, because he was into what we were doing and Chris (Ponyboy) was without a band and wanted to start playing bass for us full time. This was all a very awesome combination of music styles and musicians to me and it produced the best material we ever wrote and recorded. The band continued on and created a good following from the punks, skins and rock n rollers! But sadly.. we lost some members, for all sorts of reasons and the band wasn't quite the same to the people who started it so we all sort of parted ways... Gabe joined Squiggy as bass player, I (Duck) started playing second guitar in Squiggy instead of bass, Ponyboy moved on to other bands, Pat stopped singing for a few years, Muffy stopped drumming and then that was it.... I'm still very proud of the tunes we laid down and regret everyday that we didn't get back to the studio ONE LAST TIME because some of the stuff we were playing at the end was AWESOME!.... keep the faith brothers..." DUCK
