MANSFIELD, PA— New Politics, an alternative rock band from 
Copenhagen, Denmark, will perform in concert at Decker Gymnasium on Thursday, April 24 at 8 p.m. Doors will open at 7 p.m.
With a sound described as a blend of “punk, pop, and electronically induced dance rock,” New Politics is touring the U.S., performing their own concerts as well as opening for Paramore and Fall Out Boy in some venues.
The trio of David Boyd, Søren Hansen, and Louis Vecchio have released two albums: New Politics in 2010 and A Bad Girl in Harlem in 2013. Their best known singles are Yeah Yeah Yeah and Harlem.

“We are extremely pleased to be able to present New Politics in concert as a true collaborative student effort aimed at hosting a band that is new, upcoming, bold, high energy, very talented, and by all accounts on a course to break into the big time this summer.” Steve Plesac, director of Student Activities and Student Programming, said. “All the stars aligned for us to host this band, and now is the time to experience their show before they are limited to playing only larger venues and on larger tours.
