Quite simply one of the most exciting bands to come out of Scotland in a long, long time, DISCOPOLIS appeared from nowhere as one of the 16 bands listed for T Break at this year’s T in the Park and immediately became the one everyone was talking about. Having stormed the capital with just a handful of shows, including slots supporting Matthew Dear and FOUND, at the Edinburgh International Film Festival and recently announcing they have been booked for the BBC Introducing stages at Reading and Leeds, Discopolis are on a proper roll and pulling no punches!
Their sound recalls stars such as Friendly Fires, M83, Deadmaus and Underworld, combining elements of house, techno/electronica and shoegaze/indie. It’s very much their own sound and destined to see them scale dizzy heights.
They release their first single, ‘Lofty Ambitions’, on August 15th on digital label Eli and Oz.
‘The band have captured the unlikeliest of hearts, and with any luck, they’ll soon be after yours too… If there’s one new band setting the heather alight in Scotland this year, it’s Discopolis’ (NME)
‘They are the absolute triumph of this year’s T Break, the epitome of what the project is designed to do. These guys will be playing bigger and busier shows in no time’ (The Scotsman)
