Quarashi
Quarashi is an Icelandic rap rock band from Reykjavík. The group consists of rappers Hössi Ólafsson (later replaced by Egill Olafur Thorarensen), Ómar Örn Hauksson, Steinar Orri Fjeldsted, and Sölvi Blöndal (who also acted as producer, keyboardist, percussionist, drummer and songwriter). For live shows, Quarashi was joined by guitarist Smári "Tarfur" Jósepsson, bassist Gaukur Úlfarsson, and DJ Dice (later replaced by DJ Magic). The group came back together in 2016 and is planning on releasing a new album.
In 2026, for the band's 30th anniversary, they played live in Reykjavík at Laugardalshöll, debuting a new single "Do It Again". Many prior collaborators, including Tarfur, made an onstage appearance.
The group released five studio albums from 1996 to 2005, with an upcoming four-track EP "Days of Strange" set to release in December 2026.
