The band was founded in 1980 by the brothers Árni (guitar) and Þórarinn Kristjánsson (drums) and Gunnar E. Knudsen (bass). Shortly afterwards, singer Jóhann Vilhjálmsson joined them. The band existed until 1985. During this time they brought out two records: the debut album Vonbrigði and Kakófónía .
