(MTV) Originally from Denmark, New Politics, a trio made up of David Boyd, Poul Amaliel and Søren H, formed in the latter part of the 2000s. The group then took their talents to the teeming and vibrant musical epicenter that is Brooklyn, N.Y.
On the surface, a band that features a vocalist, guitarist and drummer might sound like a primal scream waiting to happen, and with Scandinavian rock roots (think The Hives, Refused), New Politics certainly has some garage punk pedigree.
However, on their debut, self-titled album, New Politics gets downright expansive, recalling the crunch of Nirvana, the atmospheric strangeness of The Pixies and a bit of the glam excitement of latter-day My Chemical Romance.
Their debut runs the gamut between lovesick pop songs ("Give Me Hope") and flammable, unhinged rock anthems ("Burn It Down"). How do three guys make such a racket, live? Well you should definitely take the time to find out. New Politics has a reputation of making stages uninhabitable for other bands once they're done.
Check out New Politics' video for "Yeah Yeah Yeah," as well as a live performance of their track "Diginity," both below. New Politics is out now.
