So the New Politics are a Danish band active since 2009 and made up of David Boyd, Søren Hansen, and Louis Vecchio with one previous member named Poul Amaliel. Boyd and Hansen had been writing songs together for years, aimed at doing their own solo albums until they formed a duo in 2009. They entered some songs into the Danish National Radio P3's Karriere Kanonen competition, being one of 43 selected to play live. So they hired Amaliel on drums, and was one of 4 winners to perform for a music festival. They were signed shortly after, doing a UK and US tour before releasing their first album in 2010, before Amaliel left the group. They did some more touring before their next album came out in 2013. They continued to tour with other notable bands like Fall Out Boy and the Pretty Reckless while continuing to release albums in 2015, 2017, and 2019. They've also released an EP in 2020 so there's that if you want more of their stuff. Enjoy!

Peace.
