Icelandic duo VÆB step forward with Gimme More. A high-energy, electro-swing-infused pop entry that sharpens their identity across sound, visual language, and audience connection.
The release extends a rapid ascent already in motion. RÓA pushed VÆB from national spotlight into global circulation, winning Söngvakeppnin before standing out at the Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final. It became the second best-selling and second most-streamed Icelandic Eurovision entry, behind Daði Freyr’s Think About Things, and the night’s most Shazamed track (+51% vs the winner).
Live, that momentum translated fast. Sold-out UK and European runs saw The Boat Tour pack venues, with fans in silver-coded outfits reflecting the duo’s animated aesthetic, turning shows into a direct extension of their digital world.
Pronounced “VIBE”, VÆB—brothers Matthias David and Halfdan Helgi Matthiasson—blend sharp pop structure, emotional writing, and Gen Z-coded humor, with a tight vocal chemistry rooted in their early trumpet and drums background.
Under Ingi Bauer, Gimme More flips from boyband parody into electro-swing pop, keeping the melody while accelerating tempo and reshaping production, locking into VÆB’s playful, high-energy core.
The album cycle builds on that flexibility. Þetta reddast and ‘GAMERBOI’ expand the range, while RÓA continues its global run, over 30M Spotify streams and steady cross-platform traction.
Beyond music, VÆB move into gaming through Honkai: Star Rail, contributing vocals to the HOYO-MiX-produced Side Quest King, linking music, gaming, and visual identity into one continuous layer.
With VÆBOUT, catalogue, live, and cross-industry moves align into a single flow. Direct, high-energy, and consistent across formats.
VÆB move from breakout into execution.
