New Politics formed in Copenhagen around 2009. The band is David Boyd on vocals and guitar, Søren Hansen on drums, and Rasmus Stokke on bass and vocals. Their sound pulls from indie rock with some electronic touches, built around straightforward hooks and choruses.
Their second album, 'A Bad Girl in Harlem,' came out in 2013. The single 'Harlem' from that record got some radio play and helped them reach a wider audience. They've also put out songs like 'Tonight You're Perfect' and 'Stardust.'
In 2012, the band faced criticism for using Native American imagery in their live shows, which some called cultural appropriation. They apologized at the time. They kept releasing music after that, including the album 'Vikings' in 2015.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
