We are The Daily Worker, a synthpop/industrial/electro/ebm band. Our main goal is to create music that combines sounds of the past with modern electronics. Melodic synth lines, complex drum patterns, catchy bass-lines. We want our songs to convey a sense of a run-down factory and so interesting sounds are used in the drum tracks.
Why this name?
We like the imagery of the socialists of the past, The Daily Worker was once a socialist newspaper. We do not have any offiliation with socialism nor do we support it. We just like the imagery.
Do you play live?
Yes, we are more of a live band than a studio band. We sound better live and would rather play live than sit and record anyday. Our live show is very cool because we actually play our synths and trigger drum sounds/sound effects live instead of sing kareoke like many other synthpop/ebm bands. Our biggest crowd so far was 300, it was fun.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Others that would never hear us get a chance. It is great!!!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Of course, we would love to be promoted by someone who had money and believed in us.
Band History:
Too complex to share right now. Lets just say this is the 3rd resurrection of this band with the 3rd name change. We've gone from pure synthpop to ska-synthpop to what we are now.
Your influences?
The 80's greats, Depeche Mode, New Order, Pet Shop boys, Information Society, NIN, Covenant, AND ONE, KMFDM, Run DMC, any good dance band or song with a beat
