? by Sean Adams

If you thought we'd get nose bleeds leaving the m25, just imagine what happened when we stocked up on duty free and went to the sulphuric rock heaven of Iceland...

We went, we saw, we documented, we returned. It was sold out. The people and their passion for new music was inspiring (people queuing at 2am to catch headline sets in -6 degrees, drunk, is genius!). And here it all is linked under one roof.
