Anger, joy, tears, revolt – it’s all supercharged within fast-rising London duo PUNCHBAG’s explosive electro bangers. Akin to Dorian Electra, Charli XCX and Icona Pop, the siblings Clara and Anders Bach’s propulsive “aggressive hopecore” anthems have already turned many clubs and venues into a sweaty mass of appendages.

PUNCHBAGs’ knee-jerk stage energy transmutes despair into defiance, unleashing a locomotive of cathartic pop that purges both body and soul. A vulgar display of pure delight; highlighting both the absurdity and appreciation of being alive today.

“Enter “aggressive hopecore” – a phrase the duo coined to describe their sound, which fuses elements of pop, punk, indie, electro and rave” – NME
