Hljómar was a rock band from Suðurnes, founded on October 5, 1963 and worked for six years. Hljómar was one of Iceland's most popular bands in the early 20th century, and with it the beatle culture really began its inroads into Iceland.

The band first played in Krossin in Ytri-Njarðvík, but hit the national level after a concert in Háskólbíó on March 4, 1964. Hljómar was the first Icelandic beatle band to achieve mainstream popularity. The band worked with several personnel changes until 1969 when it disbanded. Several of its members took part in the founding of Trúbrot in 1969.

Hljómar played in the 1966 film Umbarumbamba, which was called Sveitaball in Icelandic. A Double EP of the same name was released in the UK with Thor's Hammer name ( A name which Hljómar used outside Iceland). This double EP later became highly sought after by collectors.
