"Stop the Dams" is a song by virtual band Gorillaz, featuring Ghostigital and The Reyjavik West End Brass Band. It was released as a B-side for the Gorillaz fourth single from their second album Demon Days, "Kids With Guns" / "El Mañana". The song is a protest song against the building of dams in certain areas of Iceland which could flood and pollute the wilderness there.
