Botnleðja, also known internationally as Silt, is a quintessential Icelandic rock band that made a prominent mark on the local and international music scene with their energetic and melodic punk-inspired sound. Initially formed in 1995 in the small town of Ísafjörður, Botnleðja swiftly rose to fame after winning the Icelandic annual music competition, Músíktilraunir, which set the stage for their influential presence in Iceland's music history. The band's line-up has predominantly consisted of vocalist Sigurður Halldór Halldórsson, guitarist Óttar Proppe, bassist Heiðar Örn Kristjánsson, and drummer Gunnar Bergmann Sigurjónsson.

Over the years, Botnleðja has carved out a unique space for itself with a style that balances the raw energy of punk rock with an undercurrent of infectious pop melodies. The release of "Iceland National Park" and its successors such as "In Line" and "Douglas Dakota" reaffirmed the band’s creative vigor and their ability to evolve while staying true to their roots. "Magnyl," "Fólk er fífl," and "Drullumall" further showcased the group's characteristic blend of social commentary and whimsical storytelling, which has resonated with a diehard fan base and attracted new listeners alike. Despite the seasonal nature of their presence in the spotlight, Botnleðja's contribution to the Icelandic music tapestry is indelible, with their songs continuing to capture the raw beauty and complexity of Icelandic culture.
