Bio
Formed in the autumn of 2002, Gestir have since proven to be one of the most successful Faroese rock bands to emerge in recent years. Musically as well as lyrically, Gestir entered the Faroese rock scene as an unusual act, not least with the focus on singing in Faroese. Gestir have so far played at some of the most prestigious places to play in Scandinavia. In April 2003, six months after the band was formed, Gestir won the biggest musical contest in the Faroe Islands. The band recorded a live demo in August 2005, and the summer of 2006, their critically-acclaimed debut album was released. Upon releasing the debut album, "Burtur frá toftunum", Gestir have since landed a worldwide management deal in London, where the band is currently promoting itself at its new homebase. The band has also landed a distribution deal in Denmark, Sweden and a booking deal for Europe. And the writing process for a second album has begun. This is due to come out in 2008.
