It all started in 1999 when singer Bjarki moved from his native Iceland to Finland with only guitar and a hair-dryer and met guitarist Kris, who was equally skint but needed the hair-dryer. The pair shared a mutual love of energetic rock´n´roll and started to write together. Both being sub-urban hooligans, they were influenced by the music of the Stones, Queen and Hanoi Rocks, the movies of John Waters, the photographs of Helmut Newton and Nan Goldin and throw-away romance novels. High on beer and the fumes of cheap hair-dye they set about thrashing out a collection of tunes that would suit their vision. All four members of Megaphone are natural dandies, and therefore they slipped into the band's Vogue-meets-wasted look effortlessly. The band released the fan-favorite "Toyboy" as a single in 2004. In early 2005 they got together with producer Johnny Lee Michaels (69 Eyes et.c.) who produced two fan-favorites, "Supernova" and "So Alive". The band has earned a reputation for sweaty and manicly exuberant live-shows, with plenty of dazzle for the eye and ear.
