It currently consists of David Boyd, Søren Hansen, and Louis Vecchio.〔Monger, James Christopher "(New Politics Biography )", Allmusic, retrieved 2010-09-08〕〔Ryan, Chris (2011) "(New Politics Get A New Drummer )", MTV Buzzworthy Blog, 21 January 2011, retrieved 2011-01-23〕 The band's sound has been described as a blend of "punk, pop, and electronically induced dance rock".〔 They have released three albums: ''New Politics'' in 2010, ''A Bad Girl in Harlem'' in 2013 and ''Vikings'' in 2015 and are best known for their singles "Yeah Yeah Yeah" and "Harlem." ==History== After writing songs together for three years for their respective solo albums (which were never produced), Boyd and Hansen realized they had a group forming. In 2009, the duo sent two of their songs ("Stress" and "Money") into the Danish National Radio P3's Karriere Kanonen ("Career Cannon") competition. Of the 973 bands that entered, New Politics was one of 42 selected to perform—despite not yet being an official band, and not having selected the final line-up. Boyd and Hansen hired Poul Amaliel to play drums. The new trio were among the top four winners and went on to play in a major music festival in Denmark.〔Glenesk, Matthew (2010) "(New Politics' buzz just keeps building )", ESPN, 14 July 2010, retrieved 2010-09-08〕 In November 2009, New Politics signed with RCA. After a brief UK tour, the trio went on to do a nationwide US tour.〔 Because of the group's new record deal with RCA, they decided to move to the United States. They currently reside in a loft apartment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 New Politics Biography )〕 The band performed at the South by Southwest festival in March of 2010.〔Jackson, Jill (2010) "(New Politics Interview: SXSW 2010 )", Spinner, 23 February 2010, retrieved 2010-09-08〕 On July 13, 2010, they released their first album, the self-titled ''New Politics''. It featured ten tracks, including their hit single "Yeah Yeah Yeah". An official video was filmed in New York City for this single. The album received a mixed review from Allmusic, who thought that the band's influences were too obvious.〔Sendra, Tim "(''New Politics'' Review )", Allmusic, retrieved 2010-09-08〕 They embarked on a 30-date tour of the US to promote the album,〔 and supported Thirty Seconds to Mars on the ''Into the Wild Tour'' in September and October 2010. They made a second video for their single, "Dignity", and released it on Myspace.com on October 8, 2010. Like "Yeah Yeah Yeah," this video was also filmed in New York City. In autumn of 2010, drummer Poul Amaliel left the band to return to Denmark. On November 26, 2012, a song titled "Harlem" was promoted as the first single from their second album, ''A Bad Girl in Harlem'', released on May 21, 2013. In late 2013, New Politics' "Harlem" broke onto U.S. radio. Stations like (Fly 92.3 ) began playing the song by request. From May 28-June 26, 2013, the band served as the opening act for pop-punk band Fall Out Boy during their ''Save Rock and Roll'' Spring Tour. On July 21, 2013, New Politics performed "Harlem" at Guy Code Honors at Comic-Con. The band served as the opening act for Pink during her The Truth About Love Tour at select dates until November 6, 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= New Politics - Thinking about changing our band name - what to do ... )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= P!nk )〕 They also accompanied Panic!
