Diskopunk’s name pretty much describes their sound perfectly, a groovy, upbeat alt sound that owes everything to 2000s indietronica and dance-punk.
Their new track Step It Up is their first for a little while and if you’re a fan of cowbell then it’s sure to be the track for you.
Strutting along like an early LCD Soundsystem cut, it’s one of their finest yet and adds to their growing repetoire of throwback indie disco floorfillers.
Previously described as “sass-master disco pirates”, Diskopunk are from Stockholm and have yet to release a full-length album, sticking instead to a singles and a couple of EPs.
Colourful vocalist Hank Berggren, styled as alter-ego Antonio America on early releases, produced the new single and stars in a music video that employs gratuitous amounts of wide-angle lens.
Diskopunk are set to play at Slaktkyrkan in Stockholm on Friday 16th May.
