Icelandic band Kaleo recently received a gold album from RIAA after their single, Way Down We Go was sold in over 500.000 copies.
The single is from the band’s latest album A/B which was released in 2016. The song features in the movie Logan, the latest in the X-Men series.
“This is a great acknowledgement, especially as records are not selling so well these days,” says Jökull Júlíusson, singer of the band.
“This was one of my goals and it’s great to fulfil it. I don’t think much about awards but it’s great to know that people appreciate what we are doing.”
The band has been in Iceland over the last few days but will soon return to the states, as their USA and Canada tour starts in March. The next tour after that will be a USA and Europe tour in the fall.
