What you are about to see is not an exhaustive, 'end-of-story, ultimate' list of what has happened on Bandidge in the last year.

4. Digitalism - Pogo/Idealistic [Singles]
"Right from the start, Pogo hits you with its infectiously rhythmic synth and dance combination sounding very similar to Daft Punk, before the bass and lyrics chime in sounding like some indie/electro/pop fight...making you want to tap your invisible snare drum until the very end."
