For the German musician Gramm, see Jan Jelinek.
Gramm was an Icelandic record company created by Ásmundur Jónsson and Einar Örn Benediktsson in 1981.
Located in Reykjavík, Gramm’s first release was a 10-track 7" vinyl titled Tilf by Purrkur Pillnikk, a punk group led by Einar Örn.
Besides releasing all Purrkur Pillnikk’ records, Gramm also issued works of artists like the English experimental group Psychic TV, Björks first band Tappi Tíkarrass and KUKL (featuring Björk and Einar Örn). There were others like the legendary rock band Þeyr, punk groups such as Vonbrigði and others.
In 1987 Gramm went bankrupt. Ásmundur and some of the musicians who were playing in KUKL created Smekkleysa, that ultimately became Bad Taste, worldwide known by The Sugarcubes.
