Tilbury is an Icelandic rock band with folk influences founded in the summer of 2010. It started as a personal musical project by singer Þormóður Dagsson called Formaður Dagsbrúnar.[1] He had been a drummer in Skakkamange, Jeff Who? and Hudson Wayne.[2][3]

As the project developed he formed the band Tilbury, with experienced musicians. Kristinn Evertsson from Valdimar on synthesizers, the guitarist Örn Eldjárn who was in Brother Grass, and bass player Guðmundur Óskar Guðmundsson from Hjaltalin. The drummer Magnús Trygvason Eliassen has also played on Sin Fang, Amiina and Moses Hightower.[2] Based on the depth of musical talent, Icelandic media has dubbed the project a supergroup.[1]

Tilbury has released two albums, the debut Exorcise released on 7 May 2012 followed by Northern Comfort in January 2014.[4]
