Daisy Hill Puppy Farm were an Icelandic indie band between 1987 and 1990 who released two singles, Daisy Hill Puppy Farm (1988) and Spraycan (1989).

The group's first release were 4 songs on compilation cassettes, Snarl and Snarl II, released by the Erðanúmúsík label in 1987. 
The band were heavily influenced by the Jesus And Mary Chain with vocals drowned in distortion and feedback. Jóhann Jóhannsson, singer of Daisy Hill Puppy Farm later moved on to composing music for movies and theatre, and has worked with Emiliana Torrini, Marc Almond and Barry Adamson. He was also one of the founders of the Icelandic electronic supergroup, Apparat Organ Quartet. 
In 2018, singer Jóhann died in Berlin on 9 February 2018 at the age of 48. German toxicology reports indicated that a lethal combination of cocaine and flu medication was the likely cause of his death.
