	[fmSound] Reviews - Quarashi "Jinx"
		These elements create a sound collision that is heavy on the techno and known as "hip-hop funk." There are a wide assortment of choices the band collectively put together, form girlish chants to rewound sounds to the smashing and deconstructing of walls.
		The coordination the band has with complementing voices and sounds is impressive, especially since none of the songs sound contrived or overly articulated.
		Quarashi has an ensemble of off-the-wall lyrics, and strange rhyming patterns.

		Before Ómar joined Quarashi, he had been part of two other bands:The Danish Death, which was a death metal band, and Trio Ola Skans, an Icelandic band that rapped in Icelandic.
		It said that "Quarashi" was one of the surnames of the Muslim prophet, Muhammad.
		Even though Quarashi has pride in their heritage, they don't show it in their music as much as many other Icelandic bands such as Bjork and Sigur Ros does.

	Quarashi
		Iceland's Quarashi sounds like one part Beastie Boy's and part industrial-strength hard Rock, making its U.S. debut with their CD Jinx.
		One of the last songs on their Jinx is "Dive In," a techno ballad where Quarashi displays even more stylistic versatility.
		Certainly not a one-note act, Quarashi showcases a smoother side on tracks like the mellow "Malone lives" and the lush "Copycat" and "Dive In.

	InternetEd Reviews: Quarashi- Jinx (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Quarashi are an Icelandic rock/rap group that focuses mostly on the rap.
		Despite the generic and contrived quality of the first two songs, Quarashi basically offers up an energetic sound that is a nod to the old-school rap days.
		While Jinx is a hit-or-miss record, it still pounds the speakers harder than most of the mainstream rap out there today and it creatively outshines much of the current 'rock' scene as well.

		Some time ago Quarashi made the music for EVE, which is a computer game made by bunch of really cool dudes from Reykavik that call themselves CCP Games.
		Anyways, the music that Quarashi made hasn't been all over the place and few people have heard it, therefore we are going to give the fans a chance to see a trailer from the game with the music.
		Quarashi as sign of compliment for a job well done.

		Quarashi is originally Stoney's pack name, and the thing about that is that we had a show in '96 and we were like “Shit we gotta get a name!”.
		Iit was the coolest name we could come up with but later on we found out that the surname or second name was for the prophet Mohammed the founder of Islam, and it's a very common name in the Arabic world.
		There is no denying that the Chemical Brothers caused Quarashi's existence, to a point where you know my first songs were, well I was just trying to rip them off basically.

		Quarashi are just another fantastic Icelandic band (okay, they are maybe a little bit better...) I guess we are kind of lucky for that our little island is so little that we don't have space for bad bands...
		Quarashi is releasing a new album in Sept, perhaps you would enjoy reviewing it with some common sense this time around.

	Quarashi (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Quarashi is the debut hip hop album by the group of the same name, released on October 13, 1997 in Iceland (see 1997 in music).
		Already popular in Iceland thanks to the EP, Switchstance, Quarashi released their first full-length album with more of the hip-hop infused rock, techno, and funk that brought them fame in the first place.
		Richard Oddur Hauksson was credited on "The Egg Album" as the fourth member of Quarashi (as the DJ), which he also had been credited as on Switchstance, but today, he has faded into relative obscurity, due to the fact that most fans consider the original Quarashi line-up to be Sölvi, Hössi, and Steini.

	Quarashi: Jinx - PopMatters Music Review
		Instead of Moby, the brain behind Quarashi is Sölvi Blondal and his thick grooves, melodic sensibilities and often innovative, colourful sampling prove him to be a real talent.
		The diversity continues with "Tafur" which is sung in Icelandic and combines a seductive hookline with some edgy rap to provide further distance between the band and other largely homogenized bands of the same ilk.
		Obviously the re-makes of early Quarashi tunes tend to be more polished and commercially orientated than their predecessors, but the slamming metal crunch of "Copycat" is as raw as this genre gets.

		For those who think rap-rock is just about tapped out, Quarashi would like to present their spin on the genre.
		Since "Quarashi" was on walls all over Iceland, it made sense to turn Fjelsted's personal publicity into band buzz.
		While the group was working on the track, their engineer joked that the song would get Quarashi signed in America.

	JR.com: Quarashi - Jinx [Edited] in Music: Pop: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Despite using a surname of the prophet Muhammed as a moniker, Quarashi hails from the land of Sigur Ros as opposed to Saudi Arabia.
		Closer in sound to the Beastie Boys than Bjork, these Reykjavik natives are a hard-hitting, sample-happy rap-rock outfit whose lead voice Hossi Olaffson bears an uncanny vocal resemblance to former Rage Against The Machine firebrand Zack de la Rocha.
		Other notable cuts include the funk-heavy "Tarfur" (supposedly the first rap joint written and recorded in Icelandic) and the infectious, over-the-top breakout single "Stick 'Em Up." JINX proves to be as exotic an outing as the land from which Quarashi hails.

	Ink 19 :: Quarashi
		Iceland, home of the Elven Queen, Bjork, now gives us Quarashi, a four-man rap group comprised of Solvi, Stoney, Hossi, and Omar Swarez.
		The comparisons are inevitable -- yes, there is some Beastie Boys here and a little House of Pain there (okay, a lot of House of Pain on the malt-liquor smooth "Malone Lives" and "Mr.
		The tracks are a little formulaic -- Quarashi really likes the crunchy guitar, and the vocals seem over-processed at times.

	Quarashi : Jinx (Clean) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		With cutting-edge artists such as Sigur Rós and Björk coming out of Iceland, the last thing you'd expect from the remote country is a rap-rock band.
		Quarashi is straight from the Rage Against the Machine/Beastie Boys school of thought, though there is enough diversity on Jinx to keep things unpredictable.
		The quartet leans more toward three MCs and one DJ than a hard rock band with rappers and flogging guitars, while beats alternate between drum machine and live percussion.

		Wielding mic skills, tight musicianship, and a wicked sense of humor, Icelandic rap/punk rockers Quarashi are poised and ready to impress mosh pits full of American music fans this summer as they embark on the Warped Tour.
		Yeah, I would say that Quarashi is hugely influenced by a lot of South American music like Brazilian music or Argentinean music.
		So it took me a while to find the right guitar sounds, but it was maybe over a period of two years that it took to make Jinx.

		Certainly, when Quarashi pull out all of their experimental stops on "Tarfur," a percussion-heavy funk track that's recorded in Icelandic, or "Dive In," a techno ballad crooned by the band's jack-of-all-trades Hössi Olafsson, the results are fun.
		While the current rap-rock, nu-metal ilk rely heavily on the ignorant hip-hop guise of thug life, pimpin' and drugs Quarashi sidestep all of that in favor of liberal doses of intelligence, wit and actual creativity (a rare breed in today's musical climate).
		I seriously have nothing bad to say about Quarashi exsept that im terribly sorry that Hossi had to leave the band.
