Bang Gang is a downtempo band from Iceland founded by songwriter and producer Barði Jóhannsson (see also Lady & Bird ). The band was formed in 1996, in Barði’s hometown of Reykjavík . Bang Gang were initially a surf band but it moved into melodic pop. [1]

While Barði has worked with a number of vocalists and musicians, he remains the only constant member. The band's second album Something Wrong followed in 2003 and their acclaimed Ghosts From The Past was released on Discograph in 2008. The most recent album The Wolves Are Whispering has been described by journalists as "Atmospheric Ghost Pop" and has a sound that is unique.

The band is recognized for its blend of songwriting, electronica and glacial atmospheres. [2] The band has toured the world playing festivals like Iceland Airwaves , Cannes Film festival , Novosonic, For Noise, Montreaux Jazz Festival , CMJ and SXSW and a number of independent shows at venues such as Salle Pleyel, Gramercy theater, Getty Center and more across Europe and North America.

When Henrik Baldvin Björnsson left Bang Gang, Barði and Esther Talia Casey continued working together under the Bang Gang name. Their first song was used on the soundtrack of Icelandic movie Blossi 810551 . Their second, "Sleep", was recorded for a compilation released by Sproti Records and was used for a Citroen campaign.

The single "Sleep" was released in 1998 and featured a video by director Ragnar Bragason . Followed by another single and video for the song "So Alone".

Their first album, You , was released in Iceland in 1998. The band signed a deal with East-West France , who released You in 2000. The French version featured remixes by French musician Kid Loco .

Something Wrong was the follow up to 2000’s You . The album was released in 2003 as a follow up on 2002’s untitled EP. It features Bang Gang's distinctive mix of atmospheric songwriting and haunting electronica and features vocal performances from Nicolette , Phoebe Tolmer, Esther, GusGus vocalist Daniel Agust Haraldsson and long-term collaborator Keren Ann . [3]

Various songs from Something Wrong were used for TV, film and other media. For example, the song "Follow" was used in Fox TV show The O.C. ; "Inside" was used for an Emporio Armani advertisement and was featured in the movie Cashback and the trailer for the film Triage ; and "Find What You Get" has been used in commercials for the car Lancia Musa .

Ghosts from the Past was Bang Gang’s third album. The album features vocalists and co-writers Keren Ann and Anthony Gonzales ( M83 ). The album features pop rock singles "I Know You Sleep", "Don't Feel Ashamed" and included an opera singer on the title track. The song "Lost in Wonderland" was used for the Oscar season trailer at Sky Movies .

The Wolves Are Whispering is the fourth studio album of Bang Gang. This expansive, cinematic and hugely personal collection of songs represents some of Bardi Johannsson ’s finest work to date and runs the gamut of human emotion - here you will hear Bardi’s darkest lyrics, but also his most heartwarming. More than just another pop album, The Wolves Are Whispering presents compelling sonic snapshots of real life, with all of the mystery and colour that that entails. The album has been described as : Atmospheric Ghost Pop.

The record features the talents of guest writers and vocalists Keren Ann , Helen Marnie ( Ladytron ), Bloodgroup and Jofridur Akadottir ( Samaris , Pascal Pinon )

A first hand look at the degeneracy of today's suburban youth
I must admit that I may be a little partial to this title as it has somewhat achieved cult status amongst myself and my peers. This title is a beautiful first hand look into streetgangs as we know it with a unique twist. . . it's not inner city youth. Generally speaking, gangs are thought to be confined to America's inner cities affecting mostly Black and Latino youth. This documentary opens your eyes to what's not publicized, which is the fact that suburban youth indulge in this lifestyle as well which stems from an air of hopelessness and despair which is prevalent where gangs are prevalent. We all know hopelessness and despair transcend racial barriers so we are privileged to follow our gang members (Whites, Blacks, Latinos etc.) from their rites of passage into these gangs, to a typical day in the life of, down to death, murder and comraderie. Ultimately this documentary reveals a lot about the underbelly of the city where our last ex-president hails from. A must-see if you're a fan of HBO documentaries.

Violence in Little Rock this year draws comparisons to the early 90s when homicides reached record highs.
It was nearly 25 years ago when HBO chose our capital city as its filming location to investigate the violence in its documentary, “Bangin’ in Little Rock.”
In a special report Fox 16’s Tyler Thomason catches up with a gang-banger from that time period and the filmmaker who is considering a return to The Rock.
Bullets pierce a Little Rock neighborhood in the early 90s.

The audible violence plays as a soundtrack to that era.

Leifel Jackson remembers it well.

“I was standing out there. As a matter of fact I was the one doing most of the shooting,” Jackson said. “He was picking up my shells off the ground.”
The footage comes from “Gang Wars – Bangin’ in Little Rock.”
Nearly 25 years ago this HBO documentary pointed cameras where gangsters pointed guns.
“I slept with a gun, I used to take a bath with my gun right there,” Jackson said. “I had guns throughout my house.”

It was a time when homicides dominated headlines, and the Pulaski County coroner might have been the busiest man in the state.

Jackson was a member of the Crips, which is described as one of the most dangerous gangs in Arkansas.

Here he is in the HBO film.
“We got some guys riding through that’s from the other side,” Jackson said. “They may not be hostile. They may be hostile. So we take cover and get prepared.”

Here he is now…

“Here we sit. The same thing is happening,” Jackson said.

After nearly 9 years in prison for drug trafficking, Jackson has turned his life around.
He works in downtown Little Rock at a career services center and has spent countless hours mentoring youth through various program.
While Jackson has made a 180-degree turn since the early 90s, he fears violence in Little Rock is approaching a 3-60.

“We went back there. After a while all of the prevention and the intervention programs that helped stop the violence back in the 90s,” Jackson said. “After a while, it got laxed.”
In fact – new numbers shine a spotlight on a disturbing trend–48 homicides reported this year. The homicide rate in the capital city hasn’t been this high since—creeping closer to that tragic amount of 70 in 1992.
Staggering statistics that once again have captured the attention of the filmmaker behind that documentary “Bangin’ in Little Rock.”
“We’ve actually discussed whether we should come back,” Marc Levin said.
That’s producer, director Marc Levin speaking to us on Skype from his office in New York.
Little Rock’s surge in deadly violence this year is déjà vu for Levin.

“It is a surprise, Levin said. “It’s sad. I know how deep-rooted these issues are.”
Levin and his crew did a “Banging’ in The Rock Part 2,” where they actually profiled Jackson’s mission to end the violence and get gangs off the streets back in 2004.
Levin realizes that a third return to The Rock wouldn’t exactly excite city officials, but he and Jackson both agree, the HBO cameras just might help re-focus certain efforts.

“You can’t hide from this, if we come back and do a documentary…the shootout in the club was in every newspaper in the country,” Levin said. “So, there’s no hiding from it.”

“By doing Bangin’ in Little Rock, they brought awareness,” Jackson said. “With that awareness there came in resources. If HBO comes back and does a piece, I’m thinking it’s going to bring more awareness. People are going to see it. People will start reaching out.”

While speaking to Levin and Jackson – both men offered ideas to help attack the crime crippling our city.

If Levin does come back to shoot another film, actions today might determine the plot.
“It’s not to run away and hide, deny. It’s to take it on and say ‘Ok, we’re going to be at the forefront trying to figure out how to make our community better and show other communities how to deal with that.'”
Tyler Thomason asked Jackson”How close are we as a city to returning to the days of “Bangin’ in Little Rock?”
“Four months ago, I may have said that we were right on tune that it wasn’t going to be long,” Jackson said. “But I have to commend the work of everybody coming out. The walks, the victory over violence, just the media really coming out and getting involved. I’m very optimistic that we’re not going to make it there. We may have turned a corner.”
Filmmaker Marc Levin has also done similar documentaries in Chicago, Baltimore, and Newark, New Jersey.
No word yet if a return to Little Rock is confirmed, but we do know Levin is considering it.
