Next Wave: Champagne Riot

Champagne Riot is an electo synth-pop group from Denmark. Formed as a solo project of Caspar Philip Bock, Champagne Riot released a superb EP on Shelflife Records in 2008. Along the way, Champagne Riot became a duo with the addition of Anders Reuter and the two proceeded to experiment with new sounds and a bolder approach to pop music. The group draws inspiration from a variety of places including the world of classical music, Scandinavian melodic tradition, and electronic pop’s greatest torch-carriers including Kraftwerk, New Order and Pet Shop Boys.

The good news is that the group is back with a brand new EP entitled 'Moonstruck' A four track electro pop record, perfect for fans of The Drums whom Champagne Riot supported on their recent European tour and perfect for Spring.

Earlier this month OMD released their third single "The History of Modern part 1" from the album of the same name and James Blake released the second single "The Wilhelm Scream" from his self titled debut. White Lies are back with "Strangers" and so are Hooverphonic with "Anger Never Dies", both releasing second singles from their albums. Patrick Wolf returns with a new single "The City" which also announces new album this spring. And last but not least, George Michael covers "True Faith" by New Order and fails to impress the music media with his interpretation of the song. Well at least, it's for the good cause.
